Manual trans fluid?

Ready to do some tuneup work today but forgot about trans fluid. Pelican shows 75/90 gl-5 is Royal Purple good? Need to find some thing local this morning. Tia!

I used Redline and am happy. That said I didn't notice any difference. Neither an improve or degradation in performance.

I've heard just as good things about Royal Purple and I've heard that Porsche factory fluid is more expensive than gold bars.

If you live in freezing climates and your car gets driven in winter, I'd keep with the OEM fluids. Otherwise if your syncros are in good condition, any of the ones mentioned should suffice.
