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.
i have a 1990 5.0 with the 5speed, latley its been hard to get the shifter into gear, just the last half an inch is hard. and i have to force it in there to get it. i was wondering if anyone knew what it could be, and whats the best tranny fluid for this prob. and how much does it take to fill a empty tranny up. thanks for the help.
Odds are your clutch is going. A dragging or a partially un-released clutch will make it hard to get into gear. Are you still on your stock clutch? Do you push your clutch hard?
With the car off, put the clutch to the floor and release it. Reach down and grab the pedal and pull it firmly straight up. You should feel it if you have any slack. You may have to do it twice.
