Manual Gearbox 75 X90 OR Dexron II/III ?, 1998 ST 2O4 --- Puzzled Options

[basho]

Car is a 1998 ST204R SXR 2.2 NA 5S=FE engine 5 speed manual gearbox.

I'm puzzled , some posts say dexron II / III in the manual gearbox , some 75 x 90 Gearbox oil , the Chilterns manual doesn't refer to a gearbox atall but a manual transaxle in which is says 75 x 90 gear oil is the go , almost as though refering to a 'gearbox and differential' is somewhat bad maners.--idiots--.

Anyhoo I'm presuming that the gearbox and diff share the same lubricant (or have I got that wrong and the gearbox shares the engine lubricant ?) and that the fill is just under 2.0 litres/US quarts--- but what is the lubricant ?

Jeez it shouldn't be this hard

Yup we have penzoil but it's not a particularly popular one here so I don't think theres a big range , I'm presuming now that the differential and the gearbox share the same oil/lubricant ?

I'm not familiar with a product branded 'gear lube' allthough we have plent of brands that make various types of gearbox oils.
