According to Chilton's Easy Car Care, manual transmissions
are lubricated by motor oil or gear oil (a heavier cousin of
petroleum based oils). It varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Chilton's book reccomends looking up owner's manual to make sure.
The automatic transmissions on the hand need special stuff called
automatic transmission fluid (ATF) which also comes in more than one
variety.
