a manual trans will run on zero fluid. the gears would wear out from it, but it's not like a auto that uses a fluid link. worst case scenario in a manual that the clutch still partially engages.... your stuck in one gear due to sunchros being shot... but that one gear will work fine
your only partially engaging... and because your partially engaged... you have smoked the clutch and burned up the PP too
