MTF manual transmission oil or 75W90 is better, as it is not as slippery, so the synchros can do what they are supposed to do, as opposed to having to slide with ATF which is not good as they need FRICTION to operate effectively, that's why I use gear oil.
On early boxes(T5) that have not been rebuilt with later selector forks and revised "pads" on them the ATF attacks the pads of the earlier ones as they are made from COMPRESSED PAPER and they fall apart, later boxes and some of the other 33 variants of the T5 used nylon ones to start with.
