GEARBOX OIL any comments or recomendations

i am looking for the correct oil for the gearbox on these v6 clios, and am interested in the comments from users of the same as a guide to which oil to buy. i am not interested in blanket type claims that our oil does this or that, i am looking for real recomendations as a follow up to an indepth post by steve. also will help with a rebuild project i am planning when i find a suitable box.
And, which one does reno NOW recommend?
 
SO, the correct oil is TRANSELF TRP.
has anyone tried any other, if so what brand, and has there been any failures, with what brand?
i am trying to build a picture here between whats been used and failures. have gearbox failures occured after changing oil or, sfter a service where possibly oil was overfilled?
thanks for your help.
 
TRANSELF TRP , this oil is no longer manufactured.
this was the answer i got when i rang total lubricants this afternoon.
apparently there is a superseded oil called TRANSELF NFP 75W 80, i have no idea if this is suitable, total have promised me the information by email on tuesday next.
an interesting find is that TRANSELF TRP, whilst being suitable for the pk6 gearbox it does exclude use in vans, is this because they are more highly strung?
DONT TOUCH THAT DIAL!
 
If TRP is no longer manufactured or available, we are left with little choice. NFP is listed as suitable for Renault PK6 gearboxes. For me, I'm satisfied to fill my gearbox with it.
 
I understand that Tranself NFP 75W-80 is a suitable replacement for TRP.

As such, feedback from those who have used NFP for any length of time would be very useful, along with the info on how long it takes for the oil to warm up relative to TRP, the feel of the box etc.
