My understanding was ATF.

In all manual gearboxes I have that require AFT I run Pennzoil (or 
Quakerstate) Sychromesh (sp?) gear oil.  Slightly thicker than AFT, 
synthetic base stock with additives for manual transmissions.  Designed 
to meet GM requirements when they had problems with their Getrag in the 
Fiero.  I've seen it recommended on Mustang lists, Merkur lists (when T5 
is swapped in).  I run it in my Mustang (T5) and my manual Lincoln 
(Getrag) with good results.
