This is why i think we need a sarcasm emoticon 
There are some cases where fluid swaps are unacceptable and if you do some research first you should be fine. However gl5 in a nv4500 is something we remedy all the time. It can cause a "sticky" feeling, atleast thats how the customers describe it. Cant say that ive ever torn one down that ran gl5 (except for my own which didnt have an easy life in the first place) so im not sure as to actual lubrication issues. I do know if you put syncromesh back in it solves their complaint. We use Pennzoil or amsoil (both are a "syncromesh" fluid) brands mostly.

But for a while there was a lot of talk that using anything but factory oil in the nv4500 will cause poor shifting and problems....

Agreed. As long as its syncromesh I can't see any logical reason for concern. We run mobile1 75w90ls in a customers vw, the parts man at vw gave me a lecture but buckled when I backed my decision with the peice of literature stating that mobile made the exact fluid they sold, and indicated that not only was the fluid compatible but was the exact same fluid that was in the 75w90 gear oil bottles. This field is full of smoke and mirrors.
