the three main types are crankcase oils, transmission and axle lubricants, and fluids for hydraulic torque converters and fluid couplings used in automatic transmissions
Lubricants used are oil, graphite, water and synthetic lubricants.
Generally not. Standard transmissions are for the most part, operated by linkage rods connected to the shifter. These rods push and pull the shift arms on the side of the transmission. Cables are quite common on automatic transmissions, and may in some rare cases be used on standard transmissions, but these are the exceptions, and I know of no current or past applications.
No
Lauric acid is used to make lubricants
Lubricants.
Lubricant are not used to dampen rough surfaces. They are used to smoothen the surfaces. They reduce friction through the slippery lubricants on the surfaces.

Automatic transmissions usually use some variation of a (10 weight/high detergent) hydraulic oil. I believe there are three oil types: type1, type 2, and type 3. The ratings on the can or the vehicle owners manual will tell you which oil is correct for your vehicle. Standard transmissions generally use a heavier (60 - 90 weight) gear oil.

Lubricants are solely used for reducing friction between two moving parts of a machine.
