take a look around the stickies in the maint section. from what i understand using synthetics in it are a bad idea. try syncromesh.

Mobil 1 ATF is the one generally accepted exemption to the 'no synthetics rule'.

But yes, GM/Pennzoil Synchromesh (depending on your climate, it can get sluggish in really cold climes) and plain old mineral based Dexron 3 are the other completely safe choices.
