Not to confuse anyone but you can use RP's SynchroMax transmission fluid. Its specially formulated for manual transmissions.

Well im about to change out the fluid today. Any tip or suggestions? Im just going to drain it and fill by pulling off the stock shifter, but do I need to buy silicone(to seal shifter) after I put 4 quarts of tranny fluid in it to prevent leaks? Or am I ok to just bolt everything back and call it good.?

Actually, just do an online search... There's a new spec on the fluid level that will help with the shifting problem (hard to shift into first/reverse sometimes). It's part of the "solution" from Ford's TSB...
