well.. yes and no.. id like to know what they recommend for the 5 speed gear box.....

usually.. transmission fluid in my book refers to automatics transmission fluid.. gear lube usually refers to lube used in the stick transmission..

in a manual. they should make a differentiation between the 2... i hope..

Well, it's a transaxle, so the transmission shares fluid with the differential. Anyway, the shop manual says viscosity SAE 75W-90, grade API GL-4 or GL-5. It takes 2.5L or 2.6 US quarts.
