tranny uses ATF (automatic transmission fluid) like stated above GM syncromesh is what was recommended but borgworner (original producer of the T-5) i highlyrecommend it i use it in my tranny, and i also recommend a name brand synthetic fluid one or the other would do just fine....

as for the rear i know it's heavy gear oil but i'm not sure exactly what weight, i believe that it's 80W90

Make sure you use the special friction modifier for your posi clutch packs or you'll screw up your posi and end up with an open diff.
