Gump is loving her Mobil 1 ATF. Best shifting in a manual I have ever
had. Not bad for a 33 year old car.

Hi Kaleb,
Isn't type A an automatic transmission fluid?
Tarek stated in his post that his transmission is manual!
Tarek,
I am no excpert but the reason for that may have to do with a car
which was intended for operation in very cold climates! Was your car
bought in Europ, or manufactured for European use?
