Redline Heavy ShockProof was the Name on the Bottle, Nuh sure of the details

Film thickness greater than an SAE 75W250, yet low fluid friction like 75W90

For heavily-loaded racing differentials and transmissions, problem gearboxes

Many performance racing applications like Sprint/Midget/Dirt Late Model Differentials, Detroit Lockers and spools, NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car rear ends

Not recommended for most synchro applications due to the product's extreme slipperiness

Oh sheit...lol..Hope i aint damage the box bad yet..Any Recommendation on Gearbox oil to replace it with TODAY

Sorry saw this now.

AMSOIL 75w 90 oil GL-4 is a good oil. I use it in all my gearbox cars. Also bel ray has a Gl-4 gear oil as well which is brilliant, but dunno who or where sells either. Take a lil search in the car parts forum you may find a dealer.

Co-sign.....I'm using(and have used in other cars) the AMSOIL GL4 MTG and it works gr8.

You can also consider Redline MT-90 - that is also a 75W90 GL4 IIRC. Available @ Car boutique for under 80 TTD per qt if I'm not mistaken.

Mits box uses brass synchros anything but GL4 will eat them

Think i can get a synchros kit for it?

^ I suggest you drain and use AMSOIL MTG GL4 first and yes I can order the synchros for you
