    Question DSM fluid change recommendations???

    I am going to change all the fluids in the drive line Trans/t-case/rear end and was wondering what other DSM'ers would recommend. BTW its a '98 GSX 5speed.....

    '05 ion < DD
    '63 chevy ll < new project

    For most DSM transmissions I recommend Redline MT 90, Pennzoil Synchromesh, or SyncroShift II.

    I called Redline's tech line for they're recommendations on what to use in the rear diff and t-case: Redline MT 90.

    GM synchromesh for the tranny. some valvoline 85-140 for the T-case. and Mobile 5-30(synthetic) for the engine.

    If it is stock; then synchromesh (pennzoil, BG, GM, etc) in the transmission, and Redline Heavyweight Shockproof Gear Oil in the transfer case and the rear end.

    If it is modified, then Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the transmission

    Thanks! I was hoping it was going to be overlooked by everyone for a little while! There is alot left in it, and I feel it should hit 9's with the current setup down the road!
