It takes automatic tranny fluid called Mercon/Dexron 5 which is a ford and GM fluid there are no difference in the two. Yeah I know it sounds crazy for a manual but ford started using that around 94 or 95 in ALL of the manual mustangs. Ive had 7 mustangs and I have a 2001 Cobra now. Do not use 90W gear oil.....What kind of gear oil/transmission fluid would a manual transmission in a 2000 mustang 3.8L take?
actually, ford started doing this in the Ranger, using ATF in it, as early as 1988. their escorts used it as well, and the mustang went to it too.
eventually saturn started this as well, being thinner and lighter, it's easier to pour, cleaner and gets better mpg that way.
btw, it's NOT dexron as that is a GM product, it's Mercon V.What kind of gear oil/transmission fluid would a manual transmission in a 2000 mustang 3.8L take?
According to Mitchell OnDemand the vehicle takes MERCON automatic transmission fluid with a fill capacity of 5.6 pints.
USUALLY 90W,BUT GO TO THE PARTS STORE TELL THE CLERK YOU NEED GEAR OIL FOR A 2000 MUSTANG 3.8L WITH A 5,SPEED MANUAL TRANS,AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE CORRECT OIL......VERY SIMPLE
atf believe it or not. mustangs use aft regardless of being a stick or an auto.
