What fluid to run after manual trans rebuild?
What fluid to run after manual trans rebuild?
Hey guys,
I just wanted to ask what do you guys recommend for fluid after rebuilding a T5 - regular ATF or synthetic ATF?
Is there any concerns when using synthetic oil in a fresh trans as there are when for example ,breaking in a freshly rebuilt engine? TIA

Gear Oil for a non-world-class '83-'87 T5, and automatic trans fluid for a World-Class '88-'92 T5. Use synthetic fluid if you want.
