If I am not mistaken, Mobile one 75-90 is API GL5 compliant. As such it likely 
has high sulfur based additives that attack and can destroy yellow metals (read 
brass syncro rings) in manual transmissions. I recommend using Red Line MT 90 
Manual Transmission Lubricant which is a SAE 75W90 API GL4 Gear Oil.

Have been using Mobil one 75-90 wt in top loader. Significantly smoother 
shifting when cold vs mineral. No leaks. Highly recommend it
