We had this discussion a while back, you will have to do a search.
It is not recommended to use non-Mopar fluid in the manual transaxles.
There are specific reasons.
These tranmissions were designed around certain fluid characteristics. One of those is a friction modifier only found in the Mopar fluid.

mopar 7176 is what comes from the factory in pre 2001 manuals

Redline MTX fluid is a great, cheaper substitute to use in the manual trannies. The friction modifiers are in ATX fluid, not MTX fluid.

If it was the original fluid, then it's the semi-synthetic fluid available at the dealer, p/n 4874465.
