All of which are an older design of box where the friction enhancers will help the synchro's "bind". Gear oil can be too slippy or too grippy. Depends on the box. And from experience I'd say it really wasn't a good idea to use it in the Saab box. Theres ATF and MTF for a reason. All this is just based on my personal experience of course, judge for yourself what thats worth but I am known for buidling the odd car, the odd very fast car.
