Ditto the synthetic. I think Novak's site says to use conventional lube, but I switched to synthetic in my Subaru after the first winter (gear shift lever was hard to move) and it made a big difference.
I'm not sure what's in my CJ, but it was near 0 degrees (F!) for a few weeks already this winter and I didn't have any problems with the tranny. It's getting rebuilt this summer and since it's my winter beater, I'll be putting synthetic in unless someone can give me a really good reason not to.
