i put in manual gearbox oil or gear oil or some**** like that we had laying around, no difference, especially in a stocker, if u got some serious power i would be putting expensive stuff, but i wouldnt go spending that much oil, a gearbox is like 200 bux... why spend 75% of it on oil?

Does it do it all the time or just at higher revs? might have a couple of broken/worn teeth on 2nd gear.
