    what fluid is good for our manual transmissions?

    i looked it up and it said gear oil like 80w90 kinda stuff, but i think thats too thick. whatd you guys use?

    Re: which fluid

    Use Dexron III automatic transmission fluid. The 80w90 is gear oil that you would use in your rear diff.

                I don't think it would make a difference since factory M5 and A4 both are Dexron III, My next change will be with royal purple, since I have it in the engine and rear end. It's just what you want to pay for. I had a M5 and swapped to a A4, but with the M5 I just used Dexron III.

                      Yeah, but it'll probably last the rest of the life of the trans..
