5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
Does the T-5 call for auotmatic trans fluid, becaese last week when i put a cluth in the cobra it looked and smelled like automatic fluid. I replaced it with some 90wt gear oil, hope its ok.
add 50/50 mix of synthetic 10w30 and regular Automatic fluid.
it really prolongs the life, so does an aftermarket shorty shifter.
Gear oil such as 85w wont go through the pores fast enough. older mustang books call for this. Gear oil becomes very hot and doesnt dissapate heat fast enough. Heat is the enemy, so is missing the 3rd gear enough times...
