You are still confusing as ----. ;-)

Now you say it's 'ok' to use redline GL4, but don't do it because it's
supposed to be GL3 which redline doesn't make, but use redline because
it is better.

Oh and 'don't use 90 weight because it won't shift, but meanwhile 'you'
use MTL which 'is' 90 weight which is 'great stuff'.

So just what the heck is it?

'I' know to use the GL4 'gear oil' for transmissions and to make sure
it doesn't have the limited slip additive for differentials.

'I' could only find the GL4 diff fluid once when changing oil so used
it. My shifter stopped working shortly after.

'I' then went and found tranny gear oil which only came in a semi
synthetic at my local parts store, all the 'regular' gear oil had the
limited slip or friction modifiers in, and now I have a sweet smooth
shift.

Nope, you're not paying attention. DC recommnds a GL3 75w-90 (which is a 75
weight oil, not 90w.) GL3 has no sulphur additive at all, GL4 is low
sulphur. Redline makes 2 oils for manaul trans: 1) MTL, which is a 70w-80
GL4, and MT90, which is a 75w-90 GL4. MT90 would be closest to DC spec for
an AX5 or 15.

Jerry, a 75W-90 is a 90 weight lube at normal operating temperature. The
75W is its' weight when cold... and the 'W' means Winter. Same with 70W-80,
it's an 80 weight when at its normal operating temperature and a 70 weight
when cold. :)

The "cold" rating of an oil (i.e., "70w-x") is an oils actual petroleum
viscosity, the other rating (i,e., "Xw-90") is its "petroleum equivalent"
rating at average operating temp and is simply a rating based upon the
effectiveness of its additives.

Thus, a 75w-90 is actually a thin 75 weight oil when cold, but becomes the
"equivalent" of a 90 weight oil when hot. Same with multi-vis motor oil.

Most wear and shifting problems occur when a unit is cold. Thus, because of
it's superior flowing capabilities, a lighter oil is best under that
condition. However, under higher temps and load a higher viscosity (90w) is
better. To get the best of both worlds petroleum engineers start with a
light weight base stock, then introduce additives that increase its
capabilities under heat and pressure.

The sulphur content of gear oils adds a complication: higher sulphur content
(i.e., GL5) in a gear oil is an advantage when the oil is under pressure,
such as when it's squeezed between a ring and pinion. Unfortunately, that
very advantage becomes a disadvantage re: synchronizer rings, which must
have enough friction capability to stop spinning gears to avoid gear clash.
High sulphur content oils compromise that function. Thus, engineers specify
lower sulphur (GL3 or CL4) oil in transmissions to keep cold synchros happy.

This stuff is really easy to see. Compare a bit of 75w-90 gear oil to
straight 90w and it's easily apparent which is the lighter oil. You can also
easily smell the difference between a GL5 and GL3 oil, the GL5 stuff stinks
of rotten eggs to high heaven, the GL3 stuff smells more like motor oil.
