OK...... You don't put ATF in a manual transmission.

ETA: does the truck come with a 6 speed manual?

Yep very common. Saturn put ATF in their transmissions starting from 1991. ATF takes alot of shearing force AND is easy to spin meaning less fricton an more mpg.

I guess I'm just old school. Of course I haven't owned a manual cage since the early 90's
