What is the best transmission fluid for a real winy T-5 transmission with 150,000 miles and is there any stuff you can add that can help with the chatter.

Chatter comes from the clutch/friction surfaces, not the trans.

For those unaware of this old tactic, sawdust can stop the whine permanently (from the time it's added until the trans stops working).
