Two bad things can happen. The first one is pretty likely: shifting into one
or more gears will become difficult, especially when cold. That will also
translate into more wear on the synchros... never a good thing. The second
one, broken or scored gears, isn't as likely but something I'd gladly buy
another quart of MTL for.
