Type of gear oil/lube for 2002 Sunfire 5 Speed?

Hey everyone,
I'm currently in the process of swapping the engine in my 2002 Sunfire, 5 speed manual trans. I had to buy fluids for it today, and realized that I have no sweet clue what kind of lube I should be using in my transmission. My car didn't come with a manual, and I couldn't find any info in online forums. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you remember how much of that were supposed to put in now because of the TSB? I should probably drain and fill my tranny. Been a long time.

Do you remember that? haha
Overfill to 2.6 qrts is what the TSB called for. I just dumped all 3 qrts, the remainder after the 2.6 qrts was so little, I just said: "go for it."

I couldn't remember if it was 3 or four. Yeah the fluid in there now is as old as the thread and I'm pushing 130k now. Time to change it. I think my dealer said I was one of the first few vehicles that GM had with this problem. TSB wasn't even out when it started with it.
