It's NOT 5w30 that goes in the manual trans. It's "close" to a 10w oil, but
it's NOT oil.
BG "Syncro-Mesh" or RedLine MTL are specifically for this application (gear
oil wise). I tried using a 5w30 and 10w30 in the gear box (normal GL5
doesn't work - gears stick on shifting and grind)...trust me, you don't want
to use standard oil in it at all.

The Amsoil product application guide lists synthetic 5w-30 for the manual
tranmission lube. Anyone tried that?
