I've always used royal p syncromax.Have had no issues.There are 2 plugs on the passenger side of transmission.1 drain plug on lower,1 filler directly above the drain.Pretty straight forward.

Borg Warner also provided many other gear ratios in NWC T-5’s to meet the needs of the application. Most were geared down to allow a small displacement motor to spin up. To do this the first gear ratios were in the range of 3.75 to 4.10:1, more on that later. All the main shaft gears, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, ride on a solid output shaft with deep oil grooves to provide lubrication. The lower counter gears spin on straight cylindrical bearings with a thrust washer in front to provide support when under load. All the synchronizer rings are made of solid bronze which are of different size than those found in a World-Class T-5. It is because there is no bearing under each gear and the bronze synchro rings that the NWC T-5 use the heavier Dextron II. Since Dextron II is no longer available the engineers at TREMEC now recommend using straight 50w gear oil. The lighter Dextron III weight can be used but may effect shifting and wear. Torque rating for the 2.95:1 NWC T-5 was 265ft/lbs. Four cylinder ratios are much lower due to the tooth count between gears.
