Manual Transmission Oil?

I just recently had the engine out of my 900 Turbo to replace seals, gaskets and the engine to transmission seal. I cleaned out the transmission which didn't have any metal shavings in its black oil. I was advised to use gear oil so I purchased mobil 1 Synthetic gear oil.
Everything is back together now and the car was road tested.
Now to my question.
Its easy to shift through all the gears as long as you're sitting still. Once out on the road it is very difficult to locate the proper gears. There is a clash and grinding into second... this only happens at higher rpm's and only from 1st to 2nd. There is no clash or grinding when downshifting into 2nd. Could this be the result of using the wrong oil? It didn't do this before. I have re-aligned the shifter several times thinking it might be the culpret but it doesn't seem to be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. What is the recomended oil for a 1989 900 Turbo anyways? Everyone has different ideas. Thanks
