I have an 07, and ford calls for mercon iii / dex auto tranny fluid
for models older then 1996 you use 90 weight gear oil. 1996 and up you use tranny fluid.
Okay- Do not put automatic transmission fluid in a manual transmission! You need to put gear oil in a manual transmission. This is usually brown like oil and about 90 weight. Fill gearbox until the level is up to the fill hole but not flowing from the fill hole(as the fill hole is on the side of the gearbox).
It will take gear oil found at any automotive store, make sure it is manual tranny oil and not automatic tranny fluid. Check your owners manual and it should tell you what viscosity (weight ,or thickness) the factory recommends to get (example) 80w or 90w. If you don't have an owners manual, pickup a repair manual for your car, which will tell you just about everything about your car.

The manual says 80W90 gear oil, which is kind of odd considering most aluminum case manual transmission use ATF or a light weight motor oil.
A ZX2 take a full synthetic manual transmission fluid if you put gear oil or atf you will be replacing your tranny i talked to ford dealer and bought it from them for almost $20 a quart there proud of it All manual transmissions use a gear oil. This oil is different from automatic transmission fluid. There is no dipstick for a manual transmission. The filler hole is on the side. Check your owner's manual for the proper grade and weight. 90 weight is pretty typical. The gear oil typically comes in a plastic bottle with a pump and a plastic tube. You would check the fluid level with your finger through the filler hole with the transmission cool. This is a pretty inexpensive job for your mechanic to help you with.
manual tranny's take gear oil not tranny fluid. you need to get all that fluid out and fill the tranny with 80/90 weight gear oil
Curb weight MT refers to the weight of a vehicle with manual transmission, while curb weight AT refers to the weight of a vehicle with automatic transmission. The difference in weight is usually due to the additional components required for automatic transmission systems, such as a torque converter and hydraulic system.
