Powersports/motorcycles have similar gear oil requirements and the industry is a good source for trans oils. They are non synchronized (no brass, dog gear synced), have a bevel (straight cut as well) gear primary drive similar to a ring and pinion. And depending on which oil, designed for wet multi plate clutch packs.

I have been using Bel Ray gear saver motorcycle oil in my 915. GL-5, non synthetic, 80w90. Not for wet clutch.

Easily available from any motorcycle shop and usually on the shelf, but here is a link to amazon for easy lookup.

These non synthetic options I have not tried personally but would be options for LSD 915s.

80w85 Thumper trans oil that is designed for competition dirtbikes with wet multiplate clutches.

And they also have a trans oil that is straight 85w (listed on SDS) called Sport transmission fluid that is also designed for wet multiplate clutches.

All of these oils are designed for extreme shock and gear load.
