Hi,
You want 2.25L or 2.4 Qts. of Hypoid Gear Oil SAE 75W90. The manual tranny shares the fluid with the differential, so no need to change that. Synthetic is good, the Red Line is supreme. It will make the shifts crisper and smoother.
You need to fill the tranny to 11mm below the Fill Hole. The easiest way to measure this is to take a piece of wire, put a 90° bend in it and cut off the bent end to 11mm. Then, insert the wire into the fill hole to be sure that the level just touches the bottom of the wire. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
