Subject:transmission rebuild

ok, at the risk of starting a fistfight, I am having my 4-speed 091 transaxle rebuilt.� Any opinions on lubricant for this?� I am not big on synthetics because they are not "backward compatible".
�
This transaxle would not go into or stay in first gear.� second gear holds great but getting there is sometimes a little "iffy".� no other known problems, but what should I think about having done while the case is open that a rebuilder may not neccessarily do without asking?� Is replacing 4th gear still an issue (popping out when worn)?� special synch rings?� anything special?
