MTL are the choices if we decide to up the viscosity a bit for more protection and maybe Amsoil synchromesh depending on prices.
As far getting AW protection, you WILL find it in MTL 75W80 or Amsoil MTL, but you will NOT get very much AW protection in any ATF, which is why I recommend against using an ATF in a manual transmission, irregardless of certain companies claiming GL-4 protection levels for their ATF's.
Why, because the so-called GL-4 ATF's have only about 1/4 the AW additive levels that application-specific Manual Transmission Fluids have.
