the three main types are crankcase oils, transmission and axle lubricants, and fluids for hydraulic torque converters and fluid couplings used in automatic transmissions
The three general types of lubricants are liquid lubricants, semi-solid lubricants, and solid lubricants. Liquid lubricants, such as oils, provide fluid film protection and are commonly used in engines and machinery. Semi-solid lubricants, like greases, combine oil with a thickening agent to provide longer-lasting lubrication, particularly in applications where oil may drain away. Solid lubricants, such as graphite or molybdenum disulfide, are used in extreme conditions where liquid lubricants may fail, offering low-friction properties in high-temperature or high-load environments.
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.

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.

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.
Decane is primarily used as a solvent in industrial applications, such as in the manufacturing of paints, coatings, and lubricants. It is also used as a component in the production of diesel fuel and as a standard reference material in chemical analysis. Additionally, decane can be used as a calibration standard in gas chromatography.
