This says no, it is not supposed to be used in the T-5. I tried it because everyone on here said it was amazing, and it ended up screwing my synchros. 94gtcoupe told me it's because you have to flush the tranny with it first...so idk. I wouldn't risk it, it cost me $1000.

This may be a stupid question but I just purchased my 85 back in october and I haven't checked my fluid level. Were exactly is the the dip stick to add fluid being that its a manual I haven't found anything

RE: T-5 Lube/fluid
There is no dipstick for the manual tranny. There is two plugs on the tranny. One up top and one at the bottom. You take the top one off and fill till it starts seeping out. It would probably be a good idea to drain the fluid and replace with new. You drain it by removing the lower plug. You will have to get under the car to do this.
