Can you use the same lubricant in synchronized and unsynchronized transmissions?

you shouldnt need to replace the transmission fluid very often, maybe once every 100k.
and check to see what weight you need.

Unsynchronized transmissions are rare these days. You only see them in big trucks. Synchronizers are used to help eliminate grinding. They are in all transmissions in cars that I have seen these days. Today's cars use Dextron III because of the tighter tolerances. The older trannys used 80W90. Depends on when it was made. Good luck.

21 years in the transmission business and I have yet to see a manual transmission the doesn't use syncronizers, except for reverse. Even the newer models now have a syncro for reverse as well. Fluid types vary by application, so be if you know the type of transmission you have, then someone/somewhere can tell you what type of fluid to use. Some use gear oil, automatic transmission fluid and even engine oil. Some will require synthetic fluids.........HTH

Generally, YES

Probably, depending on the vehicle.
Modern stick shifts are fully synchronized.
