Real truck transmissions have big gears with lots of inertia. The super-slippery synthetic lubes don't let the synchronizer rings get a good grip on them to match gear speeds as a shift is made. Straight mineral oil such as the Ford N-series tractor transmission lube sold by Tractor supply is a good one to use, plus it's a lot less expensive to buy. I believe it has a "GL-1" rating.
