rusted bearing surfaces.
With oil added, that rust will form an abrassive liquid that will accelerate the wear.

get some spare mtf and flush it out realy good.

in the meantime start shopping for another used tranny IMO

id start search for a new tranny. OR if you do a really good job cleaning out the water, don't use GL-5 gear oil. It will form an abbrasive coating over the synchros. Hmm.. aznpoopy might be right to just shop for another tranny.

Maybe because we all knew already. Water + bare steel = rust. No surprise there.
