Be careful what you put in there. Whatever you decide on make sure it's a GL4 gear oil. If you put a GL5 oil in there, you will prematurely wear and eventually destroy your transmission. Most newer manual cars (Nissan excluded) are GL5 recommended. I don't understand why Nissan choose to place copper in their trannys. Something like redline gear oil would be your best bet. It's what I used for the trans and rear differential.

sticking with oem nissan fluid in the trans is the best bet since its synthetic already...the rear diff is not as sensitive
