While the MT-90 may be great for synchronizer performance the lack of some
EP additives means less protection for gears and I would be most concerned
with protecting the ring and pinion set.

Heavy loads are harder on the clutch than the transmission.  I've been a
longtime fan of Red Line MT-90 because of improved shifting, but any good
full synthetic should be fine.

Any suggestions on heavier transaxle lube when pulling a trailer/loaded
heavy? I just want to know if its a good or bad idea for my 4 speed.
