allright im hitting 186k in my t-5 and im guessing its time to change the fluid.
im preaty sure i know how to do this its just a matter of draining it then you fill it from where the shifter is right? but my main question is what kind of fluid to use (type/brand) i was thinking royal purple? also how many quarts do i need. my mom recentally cleaned the garage and i havent found my manual yet. finally will i feel any differnce in the way my car shifts?

 

anybody

 

you will use gear lube and not tranny fluid, and you will ont notice any difference in how it performs with a better fluid. on one that old just get some oreillys or someother parts store genaric stuff and use that.

 

There's a fill plug. The shop manual for my 85 suggests ATF. I use Mobil 1. You might do a search. There's a controversy over which to use, gear or AFT.
