2011 Ford Mustang GT 6pd Fluid recommendations

[allicedout]

So now that spring is here...... I know doesn't feel like it yet! I'm preparing to get a few things done and one of them is to change out the transmission and differential oils. I have been reading in to recommended oils for the MT-82 transmission and have gotten a range of different recommendations. A lot of guys are running either Amsoil Manual Transmission & Transaxle Gear Lube (MTG) or Manual Synchromesh Transmission (MTF). Some prefer one over the other, some guys found it got even more notchy. There has also been a lot of talk about Redline MTL. Any MT-82 Coyote owners here that can give me some feedback? I'm also looking to replace the differential oil as well so would like to hear your thoughts on replacement oil for that as well.

Thanks.

Thanks Chris...... Good bit of reading. I did search, just not there.

No clear winner here yet. Try one oil in a ride, owner reports huge difference, same oil in another and hear it's a ton worse.
If it was mine, would try either non synthetic Dexron III or Amsoil Syncromesh. Do suspect the Amsoil would make it more notchy when cold but just like in my T56, would likely go away within a block or three of starting off cold.

That's the dilemma, some say its gold others say its crap. In all honesty I haven't had any issues with it the way it is. I don't generally drive in cold weather but after owning the 05 I know enough to ease 1-2 and 2-3 shifts first thing in morning regardless of the weather, once the car is up to operating temps no issues. Even the "blender" or "grinding" sound some get at low RPM's is second nature to me. My 05 did it and so does this one, I choose not to hear it.

If your happy now, use the factory suggested fill.

I think I will get the Barton 2 post installed and drive it around a week or two and see what that does.

If you aren't having problems don't switch it lol. I have three bottle of Amsoil waiting for mine but I'm afraid of making it worse lol.

However temps are starting to become noticeable when I touch the console around the tranny. My2006 used to get pretty warm. Then I switched to Mobil ATF and it ran ice cold from that point on. It really liked it. Different car though.

I stuck with the factory fill- instead of barton i'm thinking this http://www.mgwltd.com/2011-short_throw_shifter.shtml i saw this posted on one of the threads here but at the time it wasn't available to order yet.

supposed to help with our mt 82 shifter woes lol

factory fluid was garbage for me, im running the Amsoil that DaSilva recommends, shifts like butter!

If you go with Amsoil stick to MTF Synchromesh. MTG performs better in warmer climates.

Even if I don't drive in the winter?

Yes, it would perform well on the days we get 35*+ but it is just to viscous for any other day.

Change the clutch line to the steeda braided line that makes a world of diff hem I also just put the steeda tri axe shifter in with the black bushing and she shifts tight stock fluids

Miller Oils, best stuff. Especially if you're working it hard.
