I had the tranny/diff fluid changed at my 60K maint (at 70K -- we had just
bought the car).  I've used RedLine in everything I own for the last 5
years or so.  Great stuff...  It and the Mobile 1 in the engine are
what I attribute my Subaru being able to start in a week of -25F
weather.  Even at that temp it shifted well, and started with NO
problems if I let the fuel pump come up first (5 seconds in ON before
turning to START).

As far as where to get it from, I buy direct from them:

   Red Line Oil                 (800)624-7958

You can tell them what car you have and they'll tell you how much.  I'd
recommend ordering an extra bottle of each (I believe I needed two different
kinds).  When they were done with mine, I had a half bottle of one left.

I've also used their silicone brake fluid in the clutch of my RX-7 with
good results as well as their Injector cleaner (SI-1?).  I'm mostly using
Techron in the Audi -- a friend's father said that's what the Audi/VW
cleaner was.
