    Just the absolute crappiest ATF dexron III you can find, like absolute swill like fleet farm "farm rated" is my personal choice, i had the best luck with the crappy oil.

    No synthetics of any kind in that tranny and nothing but DexronIII

    Is the synthetic bad for it? when I put the T56 in my car I filled it with redline hightemp atf.

    no,
    synthetic is not bad,
    Just Not any better
    for the cost of it anyway.
    just not worth the extra cost.

    I Race My car 10 times a year,
    and i just use the cheapest oil & ATF & gear lube i can find
    from farm fleet
    and keep it changed.

    engine oil, before every race
    tranny & rear end, once a year!

    NO SYNTHETICS!

    Dont run the tranny at all with it in there!!, the friction on the blocker ring synchros is so diff compared to conventional. If you search on LS1tech about that in the manual tranny section youll hear about some bad stories when using sythetics in a T56...
