Hi,

For T5 gear box, you have drain plug to change oil.
2.5 liters Dexron automatic gear box (finis 50 14 519 one liter)

For rear axle, no plug drain exist. If you want change oil anyway, it's necessary undo all screws to separate rear plate housing.

Use a piece of tube (hose pipe) fit a sutable metal end so it fits into box and run pipe up to rear of turbo fit a small funnel to pipe and fill....

once fluid starts to come out of filler hole JOB DONE

 

Nice one cheers guys.

I used ATF(g/box), and used also GREASED LIGHTENING, improved it no end on changes!!

Never heard of greased lightening before, what is it and where can i get it from?
Cheers.

It is a thick goopy liquid type stuff, in a black bottle and i got mine from WILCO but am sure halfrauds do it as well.
Despite what ford say the T5 was never designed for ATF, as this eats the pads on the selector fork ends which are made of a compressed card!!.
The greased lightening made a huge difference, to change feel and smoothness, but my box is a bit ropey anyway!!
