What does it call for? Some manual transmissions use motor oil, some use gear oil, and some use ATF

It would appear as though its a gl4 75w90 which would lead me to recommend redline mt-90. It's on the expensive side but worth it long term.
Ford mtf is sworn to greatness by some miata owners. I actually saved a bookmark to MolaKule's mtf list so here are the 75w90s on it.
I personally have used mt-90 and amsoil mtg in my Hyundai and my transmission preferred the redline by a long shot for what that's worth. When I drained amsoil there were also some small metal particulates in it after only about 3k miles, it wasn't shifting well with it and I was not a fan. Not trying to scare you as I'm sure its a great fluid just didn't work well for me. The redline mt-90 did me justice thereafter and I have continued to use their lineup of mtfs.
1. Amsoil MTG
2. Redline MT-90
3. Castrol Syntrans Multivehicle 75W-90
4. Castrol Syntrans Transaxle 75w-90
5. Ford XT-75W90-QGT (Carries a GL-5 rating as well)
6. Ford MOTORCRAFT® Full Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid XT-M5-QS
7. ACDelco 10-4059 GL-4 75W-90 Manual Transmission Fluid
8. RAVENOL TSG SAE 75W-9
9. LiquiMoly 75W-90 GL4
10. Pennzoil 75W90 GL-4
11. Motul Gear 300 GL-4/GL-5 (Product Number 100118)
Like I said this is not my list all credit goes to MolaKule.

To the OP: Is it an '05 Focus SVT with the Getrag 6 speed? Sorry if i have my model year and model out of synch.
Oops. Just re-read the title...
You know... no. 6 in Molakule's list is A.K.A. Ford Honey. Apparently very good stuff.
