The tranny will be ruined if you drive it far with very low fluid. In a
Syncro tranny you could be out $4000 if you ruin enough stuff. Don't go
anywhere until you top off the oil level in the trans. Fill it all the
way to the filler hole. Any gear oil will do for a temporary fix. Really
almost ANY kind of oil, even motor oil, is better than NO oil.
