t5 fluid?

fivespeedsteed · Jan 19, 2010

is it merc. 5? or should i use synthetic atf? i have allot of advance brand merc 5 sitting around i was plannin on putting that in, then maybe doing it again to clean it well and putting synthetic in.

opionions?

I've found that T5s will actually shift worse with synthetic, because the syncro clutches won't grip as well. Right now I run B&M Trick Shift ATF. Seems to work the best for me.

pretty sure ive always used Merc V. But i can honestly never remember it when it comes time to change fluid.

Ford recommends Dex Merc ATF.

Regular Dex/Merc is different than Mercon V. Mercon V is supposed to be a semi-synthetic. Just bring back your Mercon V and swap it out for ATF.

In my 95 Manual is asks to use Mercon V.

so its supposed to be dex merc? the advance system says mercon, so that means dex merc right?

ford said merc 5

Did I hear a niner in there? Is someone calling from a walkie talkie?

dex3 with bottle of lucus tranny fluid to thicken it up, works great

D3/Merc

how much fluid does a t5 usually take?

Mustang5L5 · Jan 20, 2010

2.8 quarts

50foxbody · Jan 21, 2010

awesome thanks

fivespeedsteed · Jan 21, 2010

so final answer is d3/merc? i called ford and they pretty much said that merc 5 replaced d3/merc. so if it was designed to take d3/merc then that dosent mean it will act better with merc 5 right

You can use Merc V, I got into a huge debate with this guy because our computer said to use mercon VI in his 95 camaro and he was telling me he cannot use that and I was trying to explain how it works kinda like a recall, and the higher number will cover the previous numbers, he didnt want to hear it.
