I used castrol universal in mine as recommended by rcm whilst my car was being mapped there.

you could try gsf for it or euro car parts, failing that ebay or rcm directly..

When i spoke to rcm about the best oil to use for the 6 speed they said to me the castrol was used by them if syncros/baulk rings were worn and if the gearchange was notchy, maybe itll cure your whiny box too???

I use shockproof heavy. It cured some synchro crunching in my box, and runs really sweet.
It's not cheap, but it's such a nice colour
