I was very pleased with Redline MTL in my transaxle.??? I believe that is what Redline recommends.

Subject: Synthetic Tranny oil for manual trans.?

 Hi,
  It's time to change my transaxle lube again.  What is everyone using for
synthetic oil in a manual tranny?  I have a 5 speed.  At present, I have
some kinda off brand (Chevron(?)) synthetic that I stuck in there about a
year ago because I could get it at my FLAPS but now I want to put in some
good oil like Redline or Swepco..Recommendations?
