[s-cars] 50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone beats Kroil etc. by a mile

[Theodore Chen]

very funny.  you won't find it under my mustang, as i replaced the
seals a few years ago.

by the way, borg-warner T5 manual transmissions like the one in my 
mustang use ATF.  you'll destroy the transmission if you try to use 
gear oil in it.  other recent borg-warner transmissions like the T56 in
the viper also use ATF.  tremec bought borg-warner's transmission business,
and supplies transmissions for the current mustangs.  they all use
dexron III ATF.
