use their ATF, ford calls for nothing but ATF in all their manual transmissions.

Guys my friend have TR3650 not T45 (96-01 use ATF)

straight from the workshop manual

Lubricants (Spec and Capacity) Fluid
T50D-MERCON® Multi-Purpose ATF Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX 2.6L (2.8 qt)
TR3650 MERCON® Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX 3.6L (7.5 pt)


i prefer 1 quart Ford synthetic manual trans fluid and fill the rest with atf.

After searching 4.6 forum i think we gonna order Redline D4-ATF http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=RED-30504

I've got Redline in my transmission. Yo, it's mad beefy tight bulletproof now boooooooooooooy.

Amsoil synthetic ATF and it shifts better than the Mobil 1 I had in it or the Castrol.

Hard to believe the fluid type would actually make a noticeable difference. Any full synthetic ATF would be just fine and would give you great protection against whatever it is that goes on in that big chunk 'o tranny.

For the Tremec 3650, 3.0L (3.2 quarts) of DEXRON III

I spent several hours with Tremec tech support about this official recommendation and almost ruined my tranny following it. In the northeast,once it gets cold,the dex will cause grinding.I switched to a full syn atf and the tranny is smoothe as silk. Use non syn Dex at your own risk.

 

[CRZYHRSGT]

I did Mobil 1 ATF a month ago and helped the grinding in the cold a lot...

So the T45 needs how many quarts? I saw the amounts for the T5 and for the 3650, but not the T45

i buy like 6 quarts of Mobil 1 ATF, i forget how much the trans takes, but whatever is left over i flush out the power steering with.

I just changed to Royal Purple Synchromax. Shifts even smoother than when the Mobil 1 atf was in there even when cold. I know that Tremec doesn't "recommend" using this, but I went with it anyway and am happy I did. With the 3650 you'll need 4 quarts. It won't run out the hole, but according to the manual the tranny needs 3.7 liters to be full. Since a quart is .945 liters I just did the math.

use a synthetic ATF. i personally use Mobil 1.
