Fix the clutch drag.

Then use just about any ordinary gear oil. It will work fine.

Those transmissions are lubricated by gears splashing oil around, and even have a slinger gear to help the process. This technique does not work well with thick oil and at a certain thickness it actually significantly under lubricates and accelerates wear. Obviously heavy loads hurt the most.

FYI, when starting an M it takes 10 to 30 seconds before oil fills the tray and reaches the shaft bearings. In the old TD crawlers, thick oil in the final drives will wipe out the pinion bearings in a fraction of their intended lifespan.
