which synthetic ATF?
What is my best choice for Royal Purple synthetic tranny fluid for my 1990 world class T-5?
Synchromax or Max ATF?

Re: which synthetic ATF?
Synthetic ATF is what Walt told me to run in my TKO. I can't imagine that a WC T5 is much different.

Re: which synthetic ATF?
I wrote an e-mail to Royal Purple:
To: rpautotech@royalpurple.com Cc: rpindtech@royalpurple.com Subject: Automotive Questions Hi. Which Royal Purple synthetic transmission fluid is recommended for the application below: 1990 Ford Mustang GT 5-speed (manual) world class T-5 transmission I believe that Dexron II ATF is recommended from the factory but not 100% sure. Do you recommend Synchromax, MAX ATF, or something else? They replied the same day.... We recommend the Synchromax for this application. Holds a bit less than 3 quarts.

Re: which synthetic ATF?

Re: which synthetic ATF?
holy sh*t! i rec'd another email from Royal Purple today, I guess since the automated question form on their website CC's someone else as well. he said:
Synchromax is the recommended fluid for your transmission. Thanks Patrick Burris Technical Advisor Royal Purple Ltd. 1-888-382-6300 ext 241 Direct 281-577-5041 cell 713-705-9201 Two replies in less than 24 hours, they are good! and if jester agrees then it must be true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: which synthetic ATF?
Hell, if Royal Purple and Pro Motion BOTH say to use Synchromax (Why can't I ever spell that correctly???) then go for it!!!
That's what I run in the TKO, and I've had ABSOLUTELY 100% ZERO problems with this tranny!!!!
