agreed. Amsoil sucks, I learned my lesson with it. I use MT90 now and OEM diaqueen in the diffs

best combo (in my opinion): MT90, shifter cable bushings, shifter base bushings and a very heavy shift knob

Mine has kinda grinded a bit going into 3rd if you shift really quickly, and into 5th if you go any faster than granny shift. I have had reline shock proof in the diffs, and stock fluid in trans...thinking of going to redline or diaqueen in the trans. I have a GSR.
