Hmmm, sounds like they have been working on too many vintage Honda manual
transmissions. :-)
I would do the 75-90 gear oil but not the GL5. I use Redline 75-90 GL4 I
think and that is friendly to the syncros.
Good Luck...
BTW what kind of wallet damage to have your 5 speed tranny rebuilt? I am
assuming it's an AX-15.

I am embrassed to say - 1500. As far as the type of transmission, all I know
is that it is a 5 speed standard and the car is a two wheel drive. I think I
got taken. The real problem was that the right side motor mount bracket
broke causing the engine and transmission to be tilted to the right. As a
result, I could not shift into 5th or reverse. There was a lot of vibration
that I thought was coming from the transmission. The guy at the shop said it
was the catalytic converter. I should have known better. I never even looked
at it until I put it on the rack at another shop to check the converter.
That's when I noticed that something was wrong with the mount. How they even
got the transmission out of the car and back in is beyond me. I went back to
the shop and asked them how they missed the mount problem and they just
stared at me. I think that the angle of engine and trans keep me from being
able to shift into 5th . After fixing the mount problem, it was almost
impossible to shift into 1st and 2nd. I usually won't do something like that
without looking at the situation, but it had been a bad week already, and my
wife was hollering to do something about her car so it did. Well the old
saying, act in haste, repent at leisure was sure true in my case. Where
might I find the Redline transmission grease. I have never seen that brand.
Thanks for the info and for my chance to vent.
