[V8] Manual Trans oil.

[kyle leatherwood]

Steve is right.  The people that have used that very red line you linked to in some older Jaguar transmissions and MG transmisisons after a rebuild regretted it after having to pull the transmisisons after a few thousand miles because the GL5 wiped out usually the second an third gear syncronizers.
 
I have heard (and this is just rumor) that the additives in GL5 actually have a chemical reaction with the copper or brass in older synchronizers.  Like I said, I have never seen empirical evidence of this, but please jut stick with the MT-90 GL4 Red Line.  I would hate for you to wipe out your trans synchros or torsen by using the GL5.
