      I dumped cheap autozone brand atf in my 2001 t-5 when I did my swap. Felt and drove fine to me, but I haven't driven many other t-5 cars.

      OK guys, I'm in a particularly pedantic mood today, and... There is no "T" in Dexron. Never was.
      There. I feel much better now. Carry on.

      It's neither.

      It's just "Fox". If you must have something more than that then it's the Fox platform, or "chassis".
