Default New Fluids What a Difference!!

well I went with redline MTL for the front and amsoil 75/90 for the diff, jeez talk about putting more power down and smoother shifting. Before I thought my tires were crap, but now the LSD grabs harder and the rear end doesnt kick out as much. I was able to syphon out all the fluids just fine, the old rear diff lube was black and gritty, the front case was a medium shade of brown, I think the previous owner had never changed the transmission fluids, the car has 81K on it. Just need a cat back exhaust and a pcm4less now. Thanks for all the suggestions and help
