Question transmission fluid

is this ok for our tranny?

Motul's highest quality 100% Ester synthetic 75w-90 gearbox/shaft drive oil. Strictly for separate gearboxes without a wet clutch. This lubricant is virtually unshearable. Its stability at high temperatures makes it ideal for extreme conditions.

Wet clutch means that the pressure plate and flywheel are immersed in fluid. I think only trucks use wet clutches. Most cars are dry clutches, I think it's because you'd need a really heavy pressure plate to get adequate torque out of it (the fluid decreases the friction). I guess the advantage of a wet clutch is you can dissipate heat better and filter the fluid to keep the clutch clean.
