Manual trans gear oil?
What fluid goes in here? I've seen manuals with all sorts of different oils being able to go in them (syncromesh, ATF, 75W90, etc)...
Thanks for any input.

There was nothing concise once searched. Just like any other oil thread.

Redline MTL would be best but any Type-A or Dex/Mer ATF will work.

Where is the fill plug on the manual trannies? I'm assuming it's like the diff, and you fill into the opening until it drips out????

My plan is to initially drain and refill then to drive about for 500miles to clean out the insides. A la the rear diff...
Once that mileage has been passed I can decide on what oil would be okay. Seems that most anything will work, correct?

Fill plug should be on the drivers side and take a 14mm allen.

People have had good success with Mobil 1 ATF in the manual gearboxes. It does a good job of cleaning the insides out too, so if you want to run something in there for a while and drain it to get the gunk out, that's probably what you want.
