Question Mitsu. 5 spd Tranny Fluid question/discrepancy

RE: 1989 Ranger SC 4x4 with Mitsubishi 5spd manual tranny.

What Kind do I use? I'm confused. I'd prefer a synthetic, but I won't get too picky in a pinch. Here's what the books say...

Amsoil

Synthetic European Engine Oil 5W-40

Chilton

Standard Tranmission Lube SAE80

Haynes

DZ-19C547-A (ESP-M2CE3-C) or equivalent (whatever all that means)

Ford Transmission Fluid Chart

Take a look at this link. I believe my transmission might fit under the category of "other" in which case it says in NOTE #3 that ford's full synthetic manual transmission fluid replaced SAE 80W.

Any help that you could provide would be much appreciated
