Answer:

either transmission fluid or gear oil and not many are sealed to where you can add fluid to it or drain it some of the new car have sealed auto ones but most manual have gear oil and can be drain and added to easy
Hi, Sounds like the sacromesh gear is failing. Sorry cant spell
Usually the transmission gears are Helical, which type of gear is designed to mesh evenly at high speed.
Usually if you use a thermostat and a digital thermometer you can regulate the temperature without having to remove the lid. Frequent opening is the most common reason for temperature fluctuation. Good luck.
a thermostat of course :) thats the only way i can think of to get a guaranteed constant temperature. my incubator is a cooler box with a heatmat on a stat, a smaller box of vermiculite and a digi thermometer - and it works fine! I wouldnt trust it without a stat. nor would a trust the mats in my vivs without one
