The type of lubricant used in a manual transmission/transaxle is determined by the manufacturer. Some use 80-90W gear oil, while others use ATF (automatic transmission fluid). There are others that use a unique gear oil made just for that transmission. You need to refer to the Owner's Guide or some other manual that says what lubricant to use in the trans for your vehicle. Filling the trans is done by removing the fill plug found on the side of the trans case and adding lubricant to just below the hole.
