Performance ATF for T5
The car is 91 Camaro RS, with the 305 TBI(LO3), and the WC T5.
I know the recommended fluid for this trans is ATF. What I'm asking is, is there a performance fluid or additive that will enhance my fluids longevity? There are many products for auto's, lucas has a few, B&M has their "trick shift" line of fluids, Royall purple has a couple, and there are others as well. Are there any of these fluids or additives that will help a manual? The focus of most of these products seems to be the bands and the valve bodies; so with the manual not having any of these parts, is there any benifit to running them?
Thanks,
Max

I've heard good things about Red-Line. They have plenty of variations on atf. I know of a guy who uses it in his T5 and his appears fine
