Subject:What Oil for Manual Transmission?

Hi volkspeople
decided I'd change the oil in my recently acquired '82 which has  4 speed
manual trans.
got down to Marlow's and then I was faced with the choice of mineral 80/90
or synthetic gear oil. What to do? I didn't buy either, thinking "the guys
on the list will know what's best."
This will be a once only change for me and this car.
BTW I live in a meditteranean climate. We never see ice and snow, but in
summer we see plenty of really, really hot days. (over 40 celsius.)
