Hi Steven - The gearbox in this car is identified as F40 (cast into the housing, visible from the top of the car), and is supplied to GM by Getrag.....
As far as the oil is concerned, the manual does specify a GM/Saab oil for the gearbox; I am not aware of the manufacturer or its availability in a generic form (ie, Castrol XXX). If you have this information, it would be appreciated.
I did query Redline for a recommendation, and they did recommend the MTL oil over the MT90. I have used this oil in numerous VWs and it usually did improve notchiness (ableit slightly)...probably more due to replacing sheared oil with new oil than anything else. Castrol and Mobil website queries did not recommend any trans oil for this car...might not be up to date or perhaps the oil is proprietary to GM?
Lastly, I can't seem to see a level plug - maybe I need to look with a mirror. Would you happen to know where it is located (front/side/rear)? That would be helpful.
Thanks for your response!
