Redline all the way

MT-90 in the trans
75W90 (with the LSD friction modifier) in the rear diff

I absolutely love it.

People have also had great luck with Royal Purple.

First went to RP Maxgear in the gearbox and transmission. Then went to RP lightweight in the gearbox and their 75W90 in the diff. I hated it in the gearbox and have changed back to RP Maxgear front and back after a month and a half. Gearbox stiffness is slowly disappearing. Gearbox started out fine but after 2 track days it was horrid. Interesting thing is that it came out of the gearbox looking just fine.

I used Mobil 1 (SAE 75W 90 GL-5) for both tranny and differential. So far so good. Can't find the Redline here :-( Hope I am not doing the wrong thing... the grade is based on owner's manual though.
