Forgive me, but I can't figure it out, that makes no sense at all.

There is both an auto trans fluid and a gear lube (manual trans) from Mobil 1. What is it you're looking for?

after researching the tranny board, I regret buying Mobil 1 ATF, seems the quality isn't the same as their oil.

????

I could be wrong, but AFAIK the Mobil1 ATF meets the Dex 3 spec.

I change my trans fluid once a year and have been running Mobil 1 for the last 4 years now.
