Well this seemed like the most appropriate section for my question, so here it goes.

Im planning on changing all of my fluids once spring comes around. What do you guys suggest for brake, clutch, diff and tranny? I believe those are all of them. What about something like water wetter for the rad?

Thanks

Brake/clutch you could go DOT 5 silicone, but it is NOT compatible with regular brake fluid so you will have to 100% flush all the old fluid out. I would suggest Motul racing 600,ATE super blue racing, or Castrol DOT4 . They all have superior temperature resistance and are compatible with what you have now. For the Tranny/Diff. Go with redline synthetic.

Redline MTL or MT90 in the tranny (manual...) redline 75w90 in the rear diff. I just picked up some motul dot5.1 for the brakes. I wouldn't use the 600 on the street. it'll need to be changed very often. it's ment for a full track car and they change a few times a weekend... clutch doesn't really matter. any DOT 3,4,5.1 will do. it doesn't get hot so no need to spend lots there. use the leftover brake fluid that you buy. for coolant don't buy the pink or orange stuff. get the old green stuff. like prestone. for engine oil I'm running castrol gtx. and I'm running vavoline 2 cycle in the gas tank

does the 2 cycle smoke much? seems like it would help the apex seals though

I get smoke from it when the motor is cold, but the rest of the time it's fine.
