      Redline MTL for the transmission, perhaps using Redline MT-90 for the final 0.3 quart. It's difficult to find another brand of synthetic GL-4 fluid

      Any synthetic GL-5 fluid will work for the diff. You'll probably be paying about $10/quart.

        Redline MTL for trans, Redline 75w90 or 75w140. Do not use the 75w140 if you have a limited slip diff. I have an lsd so i used the 75w90. Bavauto sells both fluids.

          I suggest a rinse and refill myself. Just to get out any little piece that didn't make it on the drain. Get a plug with a magnet also.
