And, you don't want to use a GL-5 gear lube in a transmission that depends on synchronizers. It should be a GL-4. I'd use Redline MTL. R.

I put 80/90 GL-4 in it, but I just didn't like the way it shifted. It seemed stiff, especially 1st and 2nd. So I drained some gear oil out and added some ATF to replace it. It's maybe 60/40 or 50/50 gear oil to ATF. That made a noticeable improvement. And is the way I left it. If I had it to do over again, I think I would use Passon's oil. Master, again and still

They also make a '5w30 equivelent' manual transmission oil marketed for the newer generation of manual transmissions. I have used that stuff in my FWD new process transmissions and found it was no different in shift quality vs regular non synthetic 5w30 engine oil.
