For the stick shift guys-ATF or Gear oil

[hiredgun8]

I believe ATF in the newer trans like 4L60E, but gear oil in the older 700r4

These are both automatics not manuals and you don't use gear oil in automatics.

Well I'd found the lube chart for my 95's a while back and for the T5-WC it stated GM Syncromesh, just fyi for anyone curious.

Yeah you right, last time they used "gear oil" in automatics was the old belt/chain driven models(late-60's FWD)....they used atf, but worked fine on lightweight gear oil too.

Probably because the tolerances were measured in inches.

yeah those trannies didnt last long enough to burn up....usually the chain drive connecting crankshaft to tranny input shaft would give out first.

Not to argue but every T-5 I've seen takes ATF, but I'm not an expert and the ones I've see are mainly limited to 4th Gen F-bodys and a few from mustangs....

ATF is the closest replacement to Syncromesh........it's not technically the same thing, just is the closest thing to use, especially if you don't like the $5-10 per quart of syncromesh.
