Gear oil is good for manual transmissions.

My factory owners manual says dextron II (but you may not find that in stores its like III or IV maybe V now.) for the 5 speed and 5w30 trans oil for the Corvette 6 speed

i would strongly suggest putting dex 3 atf in the transmission. thats what it came with from the factory and its obviously in there for a reason.
