Synthetic Gear Oil / 901 Tranny

In a previous thread re gear oil, there were numerous comments about not using synthetic gear oils in manual transmissions, or adding a molykote(sp?) to it.

Liqui Moly is a German company that has been making lubricants for racing since 1956. They have Lubro Moly which is a fully synthetic motor oil, and as well, they have their synthetic 75W90 gear oil, which they recommend for Manual Transmissions.

I would love to use Swepco 201, but being in Canada, the costs are way up there when I add the product, shipping, UPE brokerage fee, duty and taxes.

I can get the Liqui Moly products locally and our local P-mechanic uses it on all transmissions.

and all of their products

Comments please...
Also, what do the 75 and 90 mean in the numbers, as opposed to 80W90...
