Take Bob's advice, Dont even think about replacing that thin atf with 80-90 wt gear oil. Years ago when I was running a dirt track stock car, I got a Chrysler 4 spd trans to use.

I thought that for severe use like racing, I should put 80-90 gear oil in there to improve things. well, that transmission lasted less than 5 laps when a gear seized on the main shaft from lack of lubrication. That thick oil could not flow into the gear lube channels made for thin atf. The next weekend, I was a few hundred $ poorer and much wiser about chrysler manual transmissions. A new main shaft, second gear and atf back in the trans that gave no more trouble for the rest of the season.
