You could always fill, drive it for a few miles, then drain and refill with your favoite lube. I use regular automatic transmission fluid since that's what is called out in the driver's manual. But I've been thinking seriously of changing it to like a 70 weight gear oil. I too have a crunchy gear only mine is 3rd. I baby it as best I can but the synchromesh on that gear is all but gone. A guy I know just changed some tranny linkage bushings on his wife's 93 cause it started to become a real chore to get it into 1st from a dead stop. He said they made a huge difference and was easy to install. I think he said the whole job is done from inside the car. Anyone else done this tranny linkage bushing job? How long does it take. What's involved? My car has that problem too so I may also get one of those bushing kits. They are pennies on eBay.
