most GM's use synchromesh? but this is a daewoo...
any synthetic 75w90 should be good.
Isn't 75W90 a little thick for a tranny? Fords just use mercon V in all they're manual trannies.
any manual tranny i have put in a car has either used syncromesh, an ATF or some kind of synthetic performance gear oil..
the choice is usually specified by what the manufacturer recommends in the first place though
but putting GM syncromesh in a vw tranny seems to be pretty common.
Amsoil's website recommends 75W-90 syn. I haven't put anything that thick into a manual in years!
A variety of searching hasn't revealed much..
i found this searching:
#88900925 - GM T-IV Automatic Transmission Fluid.
(but its wrong)
Well when I was at the dealership having my leaking gearbox gland seal replaced under the warranty I was told that my tranny had synthetic 75w90 as stock.
I was wrong I have a 1.2 l engine and 75W-85 according to the manual, and for 1.4 l 75W-90 is mentioned.
Read your manual guys. 75w90 is what is needed.
I completely agree. The manual normally lists all recommended consumables.Quote:

Use 75W90, that's what the manual says and what most standard manual trannies take these days. Although my 92 Camaro recomended Dextron w/ Mercron 3 ATF. That took some getting used to.
