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.
