this is what i said to them:
Differential Size/Type : Limited Slip 3.9:1 gear ratio
>Transmission Type: 5-speed manual
>Issues : I am trying to smooth out synchronizer functionability and
>reduce gear grind in my transmission. Also, I want to put the best
>oil i can buy in my differential.
>Recommendations : Can I use your 75-90 gear oil in both my
>transmission and my limited-slip differential (L.S.D.)?
>Mazda calls for 75-90 in both, but I read that the your synthetic
>75-90 gear oil is for use in racing L.S.D., and not sure if i can
>use in a non-racing application.
Zach,
this is what red line sent to me:
Zach,
Thank you for contacting Red Line Oil, in your RX-7 transmission I
would recommend the MT-90 in the transmission and the 75W90 in the
differential.The 75W90 contains a friction modifier so could be too
slippery for the synchros in the transmission, Mazda calls for either
a GL-4 or GL-5 75W90 in the transmission and a GL-5 in the
differential. The 75W90 can be used in a racing differential but a
dedicated track car would generally use one of our other gear oils.
Regards, Dave

It doesn't hurt anything.
