I was searching the forums looking for a good how-to on engine bay cleanup (wire relocating, battery relocated etc.) and saw a link to moderndriveline.com and their T5 torque/gearing specs page. They also have a section on T5 history. Pretty interesting.
What really caught my attention was that they recommend ATF oil in the T5 World Class in our cars (read: any T5 after 1985 is a "World Class"), NOT Redline MTL or heavy gear oil. Is this right? I was about to drain and replace the tranny fluid anyway, I just want to make sure it's done right. I have not had a chance to check the owner's manual because it is in the car, and the car is not here. What is the right stuff?
