Ok I need some real help! Transmission Fluid!
I just went looking for transmission fluid for my 2006Mustang GT (manual transmission).
The owners manual says to useMotocraft MERCON ATF for my manual 06GT.
I cannot find any ANYWHERE.
The instruction manual says NOT to use MERCON V for the manuals.. but that is all I can find.
What's more... the dealership I went to said they dont make Motocraft MERCON ATF anymore... only V.
I went to the dealership, Pep Boys, Autozone, and O'Reilly's.. none of them had it.
What the hell am I supposed to do?
Can anyone tell me what kind of transmission oil I should get?

I don't know what dealer you went to, but if they don't have it they can get it
ford part #XT 2 QDX retails for $2.72 a quart.
ford now recommends using mercon V.

Something is odd... even the Motocraft website is'nt listing it...
And I can't find another oil that is the same..
Has the name changed or something?

I don't understand why your local dealer can't get the original mercon, because I just called my local motorcraft distributor and he said no problem he had plenty.
but anywayMercon Vis what ford is now recommending.
