for a wb 95 festiva 5 speed manual it is 2.5 litres. Dextron 3 or VMX80. (I was told dextron 3 even tho its a manual)

i asked a work colleague (mechanic for 30 years) about this (i have a 1996 WB Festiva) and he said Dexron 3 is used as the gears in the gearbox are fairly small/fine so it needs a nice thin lubricant, whereas if VMX80 gear oil is used, on cold statup, it may be too thick and make gear selection very difficult until the oil heats up and thins a bit. He also said that you can combine the two with no ill effect, e.g 70% Dexron 3 and 30% VMX80 to provide excellent cold start driveablilty with some added protection of the VMX for thwhen the oils heat up.
