Answer
Hello and thanks for the question...I'll try to help.
Manual Transmission Fluid Type:

MERCON (R) Multi-Purpose Automatic Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX

CAUTION:
Using a transmission fluid that indicates a dual usage MERCON and MERCON V in a transmission application requiring MERCON, may cause internal transmission damage. The use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage. Some fluid labels may indicate dual usage such as MERCON and MERCON V. These dual-usage fluids are not to be used in transmissions that use only the MERCON type fluid. These dual-usage fluids may be used in transmissions that require MERCON V use.
