Questions about SM465/M20 transmission?

[tiny norseman]

I purchased a SM465 transmission to convert my 89 4x4 from the automatic 700r4 over to a standard. Anyways, I was wondering what oil I need to put in it? I put 80-90w gear oil. Also , it has a lot of gear noise in 1st and 2nd gears, but in 3rd it is quite. Is that a characteristic of these transmissions, or is the bearings bad? I purchased it from a salvage, so there's not telling, it might have some probs. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
