Some manual trannies in the 1980s had ATF; later ones had 5W-30 engine oil. If you have the owner's manual it should tell.

The requirement for my 91 NV-2500 5-speed was 10W30 motor oil, it had heavy gear lube in it when I got it last year, but would grind going into second when it was cold. I didn't think that was right so I did some research and found a guy with a Chrysler Service manual for the 91 Dakota and it said use 10W30 in the 5-speed. What year is your truck and what transmission?
