you need Mercon V for the trans. also do the filter in the transmission. dont just do the fluid flush. im pretty sure mustangs have a drain plug in the TC, so just drop the pan, do the filter, drain the TC and fill. if you want you can flush the cooler as well.

for coolant just use Prestone or Peak green with either tap or distilled water(personal preference).

i think amsoil is the only Mercon V certified synthetic ATF. i would not recommend using one of those dexron3/mercon to mercon v conversion bottles.
