If it has the stock three or four speed it should not have ATF in it it should have 80/90 gear oil but there are some gear oil brands that are red and might look like ATF. If it has a T-5 or other 5 speed it may indeed run ATF.
Yes its a 3 speed . The rod was so lose it just slide off . Just seems like the whole rod is a side of the road fix but thats whats in the manual
