scared the sh#! Out of me when it happened to me the 1st time.
use the reccomended oil weight.......
many manuals love the 80-90, 75-90, 90-140 etc. gear oil but it will eat through the brass synchros, as many light duty manuals have brass in them.
heavy duty trans with some Lucas 75-90 and you are good to go, but not with brass.
I have changed my oil 3 times in trans, some people never do it at all.
they are strict on engine oil, but I guess they do not worry about getting the shavings out of the oil in trans.
