down shifting is worse case on all sychro's ive owned many car that i had to learn, dont down shift. if possible.
a worn syncho , is just that, after all it works 2> 3 up shifted, so that is nice.
it just a cup and a cone , the cup has groves, once the groves are worn , then it takes longer to do the SYNC.
and way longer, going down shifts. that is because the 2 items to SYNC are going much faster , differentially.
only trying differ, oil can help and not using SYN oil, syn oil can be too slippery for this old syncro. use dino coil use real GL4 .
the syncro, was designed and tuned buy the engineer for dino lube.
and never SYN lube. show me bottle of that in 1988 (design day)
Ruffles has Ridges but so does.????
the 5speed FSM , book (free) lid off checking the synro gap, if too narrow the synchro is HISTORY. takes 1min with lid off, but that takes 4hrs, labor.

you can run engine oil in the tranny and the bearing will be happy, (In fact some cars do, some even run ATF (custom fiber sychros, not ours)
but not the sychr's. they may, not, or if worn? GL4 oil is just for that, to run Synchro;'s it NOPT /MT API grade (crash box), its GL4 gear lube four.
Gear lube 5 is for HYPOID gear sets. and is not for synchro's at all, unless they say so, and Mobile 1 said, its NOT. i have that link in my gl4 page. to Mobile FAQ page on syn gear oil lube.
and you can bet that they'd lOVE TO SAY YES< but said no. this fact alone tells you that GL5 is not 4.
keep in mind that GL5 is 100% designed EP (rated) to not burn up those very very hugely loaded hypoid gear sets, its HUGE FOCUS point that and NOT your gear box.
see how that hipoid gear is shaped and sets real low, ?
this gear is for low noise, and for high torque. and has very very special needs, unlike any gear box made. period.
the only issue in my mind is, those bottles marked, GL 3/4./5 , are they really? my guess is yes, but I too, must have trust in something.
