What / how much fluid?
I'm just wrapping up an F-body T-5 into an S10 swap, and I've come to the point that I need to fill the tranny with fluid / lube. Anyone have recommendations on what to use, and how much I need? The tranny came out of a 1991 IROZ camaro, but according to the tag it started its life behind an 85 5.0 (# is 1352-072). TIA

If it is an 85 tranny it would take gear oil 80-90 should do. If it is an 88 and later it will take ATF . I have had both and run ATF in them with know trouble .Looks good but where is the clutch pedal LoL

I have an '85 TA w/ a T5 and it was recommended to run ATF in it. The shop said gear lube would be fine, unless it would be run in cold weather.

It did look like it had gear lube in it before it was shipped to me (dry of course) ...
As for the clutch, I haven't filled the system yet so I had the pedal depressed to start the truck and it just stayed down
