I use AMSOIL synthetic ATF and love it. Why no Redline :confused: it's great stuff.

Use synthetic Dexron III in the gearbox. Use synthetic 75W-90 gear lube and add 4 oz of anti-slip additive--I personally add 2 bottles (8 oz.)

My highly respected tech says to use reg atf fluid.
Supposedly without a trans cooler, temperatures stay lower with regular atf..

I use Amsoil Universal ATF (synthetic) for tranny and Amsoil Series 2000 75W-90 for diff. GM does specify ATF for the tranny. Mobil1 synthetic gear oil is good enough for the diff and most synthetic gear oil doesn't need limited slip additive and putting too much additive makes the lubricant too slippery for the LSD.

Redline products are also superior, I'm just cheap :)
