Need approval of diff and tranny fluid.

Having lovely Thanksgiving weekend off, my brother and I are going to change the diff and tranny fluid in my 10AE. I'm going to use Redline MT90 (getting 3qts) and Redline 75W-90 for the diff. (gettign 2 quarts) Do you guys approve of this purchase or have your own opinion? Thanks.

Michael
1988 10AEs.. "12k miles and already changing the gear fluids, yep".

Much love for RarestRX

I prefer Redline Super lightweight Shock Proof for the read end, but the MT-90 is great for the tranny if the tranny is in good condition.

You got a good combo of fluids
go with it

I tried some GM Syncromesh in my tranny before the season ended...was nothing special. Though my tranny has grinded before, there were no improvements over the stock fluid that was in there before. In fact it felt a little MORE notchy and less smooth with the Syncromesh.

I'm putting in MT-90 once next season arrives
