Every T5 I've seen has had ATF in it, including the earlier NWC design. I have ATF in mine.

Isn't lb9 refering to the type of transmission I have?

Atf is for automatics? Mines a stick shift.

No, LB9 is the GM RPO code for the 305 TPI motor. I recommend you read the sticky threads and do some searches. Welcome to the forum.

My 85 shop manual calls for ATF for my T-5. The T-5 sticky at the top of the page will provide insight and/or confusion to the whole "what fluid does my T-5 use."

Third link.

And use ATF, that's what your transmission was designed for.

PS: Learn to use the search feature... Almost every question you could ever ask, has already been asked and been answered before.

Cool man thanks so much! Ya I will definately use the search feature. I appreciate your guys patience. I'm not a gear head my dad is teaching me... Again thanks everyone. I'll try not to post dumb stuff and search before I post Haha.

So my dad and I drained the transmission and he said it smelled like gear oil. Said he'd be able to recognize when we drained it. I told him that I had read that that it would shift smoother with atf so that's what were going with.

Valvoline dexron is what we got.

considering ATF is mentioned in this thread lol... My dipstick says to use dex II but the computerat work says to use dex VI. What should I use? D:
