From what I've been told, if you've been using motor oil then you can switch to gear oil. This isn't necessarily recommended, but you can do it. Some shops will even add a gear oil's EP pkg to motor oil; BG's MGC is an example of this. But, I've also heard that if you're using gear oil then you probably should NOT switch back to motor oil. I think it's due to the higher detergency of motor oil washing dirt & wear particles out, which then causes problems as it gets transported throughout the system.
My '90 was already running 75wt gear oil when I bought it. I've since switched to BG's SyncroShift FWD syn gear oil & have had excellent results over the last 25k miles with it. The switch was done because of some shifting problems I was having, & the tranny was flushed with a cleaner at that time.
