Your gearbox does plenty of work, changing up and down many, many times when you drive. It needs lubricating just like the engine, but less often. The recommended time is every 30,000 miles. That's a lot of miles, but considering how old your Beetle is, there's a good chance it needs doing if the previous owner never did it or not having any maintenance records.
Transmission Oil
GL-4 vs GL-5 There is a debate between many users of what API rating to use. My personal analysis is best to go with SAE 75W-90 Fully Synthetic.
And when doing, once you remove the Drain plug; make sure you clean all the dirt, sludge/metal grind its collected there in the center magnate.
