Tranny fluid is more or less tranny fluid. There really isn't a lower weight fluid. You've got dextron III & mercon as the two main kinds. Run dextron III

Josh,

He's got a 5-speed.

Don't run less than a 75w90... unless you feel the need to depart your ring and pinion teeth from one another.

There is nothing in the gearbox that needs "cleaning out"
