i have a 98 full swap in my car. what type of fluid should i use in the tranny. i think it comes with a mechanical lsd so it might need something special? thanks guys

Manual says S54 LSD
API GL-3 SAE75W-90 2.1 LITRES
Used the grade above from TOYOTA for the first 1000 kms then swapped to redline.
Couldnt be happier. Gear changing is like a hot knife through butter.
PS i do have a new gear box BTW
