I use Mobil 1 ATF since I have had good luck with it in my previous T5's. Amsoil would be another recommendation.

Royal purple makes a manual trans specific fluid (synchromax)...I ran that then switched to mobil 1 after 20k and I don't see any difference in shifting...so mobil one gets my vote.

Got it done.
The hardest part was was cleaning the garage up.
To many toys.
