I also believe this is a good subject, because I'm sure there is an aftermarket better product, like Lucas or Royal Purple brand ATF+3 tranny oils. What brand, what type, and where to buy it?
I contacted new venture gear about the tranny a long time ago..
the stock oil for 95-97 was 5w30 with a friction modifier in it..
then they used ATF+4
if your in a warmer climate, they said amsoil synthetic 75w90 would be fine..
but.. it's 5-30 gear oil, or ATF from the factory.
i'd stick with the dealer stuff.. it's expensive.. but how often do you really change the gear oil in a manual trans?? once?? twice?? ever??

when i changed it, i used the NVT 350 (MS9417 MTX) and it shifted ALOT better until my *boom* issue.
the old 80w90 that was put in when the clutch set was changed was a milky white color when i drained it out. is it supposed to be that color? could this be an indication of a problem? it shifted perfect until i dumped it way too hard.
