Transmission Leak

[bannre10]

My manual transmission in my e30 318is has slowly leaked dry in the last 3 weeks.

I've heard that some of the manual transmissions take atf and some take manual transmission oil and to look for the sticker on the transmission but there isnt one on mine.

Can anyone tell me what fluids I need to put in it?

If there are no labels on it or you're unsure, can't go wrong running redline mtl :p

Label's were really there for topping off purposes when the vehicle was brought in for service, since your changing fluids....ignore the tag.

Ive had good luck with MTL, Amsoil, and currently running Liqui Moly...out of the 3 i feel the Liqui moly seems to be the best.

Ok so manual transmission oil is fine, thanks guys!
