MTX transmission fluid

[mishman]

What is the correct transmission fluid for a 95 taurus SHO with the MTX IV transmission? I have a Motorcraft full synthetic fluid in there now, and it seems like the gears are making some noise. Should I be using Mercon? I asked 3 ford garages and each gave me a different answer, and one told me there were 3 different trannys for the 95 MTX!! hahah i need a straight answer, thanks!

yup you read it right...the same fluid you use for an Automatic is what works really well in the Manual.

i have it in all my 5spd trannies.

yeah I have a cd shop manual that calls for MERCON® Multi-Purpose Automatic Transmission Fluid E6AZ-19582-B.

Mercon V works good, too, it is part synthetic.

IMO, it is best to put some sort of synthetic in the MTX, especially if you are running with a stock differential.

Can you mix a full synthetic oil with a blend synthetic? Can you reuse old transmission fluid? I have not changed my fluid since i got the car with 75,000 miles, and now it has 112,000.

Mercon V gave me all kinds of problems. I had grinding going into gears, would not get first. It was bad for me. I switched to GM Syncromesh, and all is good.
