Yes, I use the stock nissan manual tranny fliud. I live in Texas, it gets to 100+ F in summer, but never has any problem with my tranny.
You said pedal gets stick, do you mean the clutch? then you probably need to check your clutch fluid.

+1. I'm on my second tranny/diff oil change. Used Redline MTL/MT-90 mixture again.

You're reviving a thread that's almost a decade old. Redline now produces MT85, so no need to mix Redline fluids any longer. MT85 fits Nissan specs .
