Are you looking for tranny fluid or differential fluid?
I have used Redline heavy shockproof in my front dif for about 12,000 miles now. No problems at all.
A lot of people on this site have said that the Redline fluids will lead to busted difs, but I think that most busted difs are from abuse.
I also have Redline fluid in my rear LSD. It was changed the same time as the front dif.

Syncromesh (GM, Pennzoil, or BG) are what you want for the trans.

I would not use REDLINE. I used it in my car once. When I took the car to the dealership for trannt work, the tech told me that it cooked on the gears. I am using stock. I have 44000miles on my car and I have yet to change the rear diff fluid. I am going to be replacing it shortly.

I give the Heavy Shockproof a big 
. It saved my new t-case when the fill plug fell out on the drive home from having it installed (50 highway miles). A little less then 1/2 the fluid spilled out, yet the t-case is perfectly fine. No doubt because of how thick the Heavy Shockproof is. If it was lower viscosity, more would have spilled and probably led to a broken t-case.
