Unhappy

I am about ready to start putting my car back together.

I am looking for opinions for tranny and diff gear box fluid. I have heard of Redline and NEO, any other suggestiond? Also where can i get it the cheapest? How much and what weight do I need?

Thanks

I used Amsoil 75w90 in both the transmission and differential. There should be some dealers locally.

Redline smoothed out my tranny quite a bit, but I have heard people say that Neo makes it smoother.

definitely go with neo...

had redline for two seasons...

difference in shifting is substantial..

shavings were almost nonexistent during annual change..

as opposed to what was found with redline...
