I have never looked at a manual gearbox in a 2003 , but in older cars I have , and in most cases the input shaft (where the first syncro sits ,) in most cases there is no point doing the syncro with out doing the input shaft, in those days a 80w 90 was used , back then in some countries if it was really cold weather they use to throw transmission fluid instead of manual trans oil , so I am unsure on what type of oil is in the box , but maybe just maybe if a LSD fluid was used say 75w , or something just a little thinner than the standard oil , NOW I am unsure on this as I do not know the specs of this type of box , but look at the manual , see what is recommended ,
and ask the mec what type of fluid did he replace in , as I do not know what jeep throw in at the start , could be a odd ball 70w 80 , or thinner or something totally different.
