No probs Gary 
I recon we should ask Bernie to clear this up actually, as ive also heard that using non MT oils is ok, but i personally believe it to be a bearing material issue.
Be interesting to know once and for all from a transmission professional

O.K.
Cosworth T5: Dexron II
Cosworth MT75: MT75 fluid
RS2000 MTX75 up to 1995: MT75 fluid
RS2000 MTX75 1996 model up: SS75W/90
Note: I recommend the use of a full synthetic 75W/90 on "big tooth" motorsport gearsets, but on all of these boxes you will need to get the box warm before expecting a quick gearchange

The later Dexron III is supposedly friendlier on the solenoids of the modern day "managed" auto transmissions.
I would expect it to have a slightly higher detergent level, along with improved anti-foam properties (which is generally what the Dexrons were about)

The T5 gearbox is a 2wd gearbox???
Rare question, what color is Dexron II is it blank or red like aut.transmission fluid, because the color of the oil that's now in the gearbox is blank.
BTW thanks for the reply's
