T-50d??

[Euphoric306]

k, was doing some diagnostics on my mechanical problem yesterday and when i checked the tranny fluid it was really thin and kinda looked like ATF, so i looked it up in the repair manual and it said all 86 and later models came equipped with a t50d manual tranny, ive never heard of this one and thought all aero stangs came with a t5 stock, is this the same tranny, or has everyone on stangnet swapped over to a t5...

my buddy with an 02 GT and a t-4590 (or something) tranny needs 80w
i also thought t5's needed 80w gear oil

so why does this tranny use ATF?

...just a bunch of curiosity id like to settle

id appreciate your reply, thanks

It's a T5. T5 is just short for that. They were made by Borg Warner and BW trannys use ATF.

The manual lists your T5 as a T5OD (T5 OverDrive). That might have been the source of a little confusion.

A stock T5 from an aero fox will use ATF.

Good luck.
