go with the royal purle. I used in the last few cars, and shifting was smoother.

Dont use anything that the tranny doesn't ask for. Stick with the Dex/merc III thru V if you dont want to run into the possibility of problems. Not saying that there will be problems, but at least you'll know that you wont have to drain and refill the fluid again...just my 2 cents

I have a few friends that have 10 and 11 second cars and they run the cheapest dex/merc ATF they can find (carquest brand) and have not had any problems with their T5s and or Tremecs. As long as it is Dex/merc III-V approved then it's ok to use.
