What gear oil for a 1998 3.8v6 mustang manul trans?

i just tore into my 1998 3.8 v6 mustang and i took out the gear oil for the trans. I was wondering if anyone knew what i should use..thanksWhat gear oil for a 1998 3.8v6 mustang manul trans?
MERCON ATF.





I just checked my Chiltons Manual for my 1994 v6 mustang.





And seeing how 1994-98 trannsmissions are EXACTLY the same.





I HAVE a 1998 5spd transmission IN my 1994 mustang....so yea.What gear oil for a 1998 3.8v6 mustang manul trans?
Use Redline MTL, you can't go wrong, pours like a atf and protects like a heavy 90 wt
personally i would use 75-80 or 80-90 gear oil, not that ATF doesnt work but you'll burn up the gears and sychros way faster. as for manufactur spec look in the owners manual
It most likely takes DextronIII/ Mercon ATF which is yes for auto transmissions but some manuals take it too. It should say what it suggests in the owners' manual though.
