Let me simplify it for you: You're going about this backward. You don't start with a lubricant and say, "How do I use this?" You start with the machine or part you're working on and go get the proper lubricant for that job. Your question is kind of weird as a result, and that's why you're getting weird responses.
Maybe it would help if you told us why you're asking about gear oil. The way you asked the question almost makes it sound like you found a case of it that fell off a truck and said, "Hey, I wanna use this in my Jeep! I wonder how I'd do that!"

API GL-5 is corrosive to brass. The AX-15 is full of it. GL-3/4-compatible fluid needs to be used.
Redline MT-90 (which is now stocked at all of the NAPAs in my town - yipeee!), Pennzoil Synchromesh, AC Delco Synchronized Transmission Fluid, etc are sane choices that won't kill our "obsolete" transmissions.
