Tranny Fluid

[FocusSVT0004]

Does anybody know what kind of Tranny Fluid i'm supposed to put into my SVTF? I bought a Haynes Manual, but its for GENERAL Focus's. Not Specific to SVT. I have a 2door 2004. This one of the last things I need to do to finish my stage 3 clutch and flywheel upgrade i'm doin. I'm betting i have to go to a Ford Dealer to get this................. Anyone know this? or where to look?

Thanks

nevermind. went to Ford Dealer. got the right stuff.. $20 a quart....

ya $20 a quart.. f that.. there is usually a cheaper, better formulated one we just need to find out what it calls for... maybe mesh ?

the getrag uses ATF fluid.

My 23k mile svt is leaking at the driver side axle seal (slightly) and it def is not ATF fluid its more of a gear oil color and thickness even

 

[Gun5]

yep gear oil


Castrol BOT 130M, royal purple syncromax, BG Synchroshift.. im sure the penzoil mesh works too but id have to read up (stocked @ auto zone)

The shop i'm doin my clutch swap in has All data and Shop Key. they both called for a Full synthetic specific type. The only place that had it was the ford dealer... it sucks but thats what i had to do i guess

to each his own.. my tranny is leaking so bad right now from the axle seal i wish i had SOME kind of fluid lol.. i just ordered 2 courts of royal purple for $19.98 shipped from corvetteguys.com... just needa find the axle seal tomorrow hopefully the dealer or SVTpartsguy on here can help me :thumbsup:

BTW u do that clutch sensor delete or counterweight delete on your tranny? they really make a big diff on the shifting

the getrag uses ATF fluid.

no
it uses full syn tran fluid

 

[HalfTime]

It does NOT use ATF!!! If you try to use ATF in the Getreg, you'll need to by a new one. Do not use RP or any other gear lube, you'll be replacing all the seals with in 20k miles. If your lucky that is. Do some reserch, thier are alot of other companies that will say they have a cheaper alternative to the OEM motocraft MTF, but doing independent reserch you will also find that those same alternativies will swell seals, or fail alltogeather.

i work on ford at a dealership for 2 years, SVTF takes ATF. ford sells a gear oil upgrade thats safe to use in the getrag but oem fluid is ATF.

Power Steering rack takes ATF, the SVT manual suppliment states full synthetic transmission fluid.

 

[focussvtracer]

witch dealership do you work at?


so i know witch one we shoud ALL avoid..... :nonono:
