          Put a new seal in it. I ran it in my tremec but I didn't have any problems.

              I put amsoil ATF in my newly rebuilt T-5, and I'm liking it so far. I've heard so many things back and forth about the synchromesh. I researched it and some people swear by it, others claim that it's not good for some parts in the transmission that are copper or something? Can't quite recall now, but this is the first I've heard about causing a seal to leak. I know that front seals on a T-5 are notorious to leak no matter what though.

                  I have it in my T-45, no leaks. I have heard mixed reviews about it and ANY synthetic ATF in a manual tranny. I don't have any problems though. I was toying with the idea of putting Redline ATF in mine, it's due for a change, I have just been to lazy to do it. The biggest issue with Manual trannies are people overfilling them and then they blow out a seal. I heard the level is supposed to be 1/4" to 1/2" below the check hole.

                      Im running it in my T5 with no problem...was advised to do so by Scott (Allstock93GT) when he rebuilt it....front seal has probably gone to shiat.

                        Lucas heavy duty oil stablizier is basically nothing more than brightstock. It has a super high viscosity (about a 250 gear oil).

                        I do not recommend adding it to anything. Much less adding it something with the viscosity of about a 5w20.
