From what I`ve read on this forum most manual transmissions (gearbox) use automatic transmission fluid, like Dexron2. As for the diff. (front and rear) you will need EP80W90 or similar. If you have limited slip diff. you will need the lube with the additive for the LSD. This will bump your post and someone else may confirm the gearbox lube.

Yeah I read that on the blog but I find it almost hard to believe it ATF in a Manual Tranny? I actually read that on the owners manual
