Because the "old" trans.
oil like you would use in a toploader is toooo thick and the trans will not even shift with it in it.....
All the "new" 5 and 6 speed trans. come with auto trans fluid..
My Tremec bought in the mid 90's called for the same stuff as yours.... I've run Redline MTL with good results and the GM synchromese stuff also and really can't tell the difference........
Put what it calls for and you'll be alright............
