Synthetic gear oil

Who know a good synthetic gear oil to use in the Xb's tranny :?: I'm gonna be doing my clutch and lightweight flywheel soon, so I want to do it all at once.

Two words "Red Line" or "Royal Purple", of the two I like Royal Purple a little better. No real numbers but I seemed to get better mileage. Also in the past I've used Amsoil

I was thinking Royal Purple also, but the big question is what weight to use :?:

yeah I mostly agree..except I get better results from Amsoil then Red Line... I would rate them Amsoil, Royal Purple, then Red Line......on a lesser budget use Mobil 1 products......this also pertains to oil BTW
