You don't. That's for clutch packs used in axle traction units. (Submerged clutches) You need to use Synchromesh oil. Or something like Amsoil MTF that is rated for the NV4500 and NV5600. The reason for that is due to the syncros (They're a composite material not like brass or a metal standard syncro).

i have the royal purple syncromesh in it now. it grinds going into gear when its cold. once she gets warm it will go into gear smooth. i talked to a few guys and they said to put an additive that is for limited slip and that might help if not i need new syncros.

I just changed mine out. I was could not get any syntorq from either dodge dealer. or the GMC dealer.

I was told to put in Amsoil 75-90 Gear oil that was at least gl-5. It shifts hard when cold. Do i need to change it back out?

Okay. So i just checked what was put in.

Amsoil 75-90 Synthetic gear lube was put in.

NOT Amsoil MTF synthetic for the NV4500

Do i need to add friction modifier, change it out. I havn't dirven but around that block since i changed it.

For a Dodge auto I wouldn't use anything but Mopar ATF+4.
Believe it or not you can buy it at WallMart for under $5 a quart.

Definitelly get the gear lube out. GL-5 is definitelly not satsifactory for any manual tranny that I'm aware of.
Use correct fluid, not some might work according to Joe's grease pit. There have been several posts of satsifactory results from putting LS additive in the manual tranny. Especially the NV5600 if I recall correctlly.
