    Yea the autozone guy told me the pennzoil was the right stuff honestly drove maybe 150 miles with it and it was tougher to shift gears so I ordered the mt90 should be here tomorrow. Best part is my wife's a hot head so I drained the synchromesh out and refilled the bottles and she got our money back. Thanks for the advice going to stick to the mt90 from now on in the trans.

    Oh, I don't mean to try and sound fluent in trans. fluids. It may have just been a good alternative to ATF in Chevy t-5's.

    Mustang T5's in the Fox bodies used to tear up some synchro's though but we didn't know any better (or care).

    The junkyards were always full of them.
