Default t-5 help

alright well i just got the 87 and its been sitting for a year. i don't know how the tranny shifts as i can't drive it yet. i haven't tried to start it yet and won't do so until i have done a good tune up. and i was just wondering should i change the fluid in the tranny as well while i am doing the tune up or what? if so, what would you reccommend using as tranny fluid? its a T-5, 5 spd. thanks guys!

i think i would... hell it wont hurt at all

use atf... i prefer(as do most) synthetic...

and just like the resta the car... let it warm up 1st before driving it... so that the fluid can fully lubercate everything...
