manual tranny fluid?

I have a 5 speed 98 max and I need to add tranny fluid after i changed my half shaft and all the fluid leaked out.I didn't no I would lose that much fluid but it did.I had the front up on jack stands and I guess from the car being tilted so much the fluid leaked out.Anyway I had amsoil mtg 80-90 gl4 in it That I put in 65000 miles ago.Car now has 135k on it.I did a lot of research back then but am having trouble finding what to use now.I know about red line mt-90 but some have complained about it being a little notchy.What are you guys using now?Red line also makes an mt85 which is 75w85 gl4.I know it's been talked about a lot but not lately.Any other fluids that I should consider. Thanks.

65,000 miles is probably pushing the envelope on whatever gear oil you use.

Consider Pennzoil Synchromesh. Worked wonders in my MR2 and you can get it at local parts stores for ~$5-7/qt.
