Synthetic Drivetrain Fluid
I was reading my recent issue of Hotrod and it talked about using synthetic drivetrain fluid to reduce hp lost by the drivetrain. Has anybody done this to their FC or any other car and is it worth it? I have never heard of such a "mod" but then again I havent been into the car game for too long.

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
The HP loss to conventional gear oils is pretty small (maybe 1 percent) compaired to synthetics, but the real advantage to use Redline MT90 is the manual transmission is the smoother shifting and increased syncro life.
I only use Redline MT 90 in my manual tranny cars.

I personally prefer Neo.
