What year? If its a 83-84 it uses 70w gear oil. If its 85+ it uses ATF. It uses ATF for the purpose of lubricating the needle bearings the gears ride on. Use a synthetic ATF. Pre 85 were non world class with no needle bearings, hence the heavier oil.

DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC AFT IN A T-5!
Its lubricates to much and the syncros will no slow down between shifts and it will grind. No synthetic ATF only.
