Default What ya putting in the Tranny?

I know....... Not another oil thread! I have been using Amsoil 20W-50 in the transmission for the first 5000 miles and I am thinking about switching over to a gear lube. Probably Redline with Shockproof.
I've searched multiple threads on the subject and of course everybody is different and have their own preferences between using the same oil in all three holes, 75w-90 gear oil or 75W-140 gear oil.
What are you guys down south here in Florida using in your tranny?

Redline with Shockproof in tranny, Redline 20-60 in engine, Redline Chain Case Oil in primary. The 20-60 not only helps with the Southern heat, but it also seems to quieten down the top end noise.

Did you switch to the 140 from 75W-90? Did you do it because of the high temps in Texas?

I use Syn3 in the motor, Formula+ in both the tranny and primary. I've tried Syn3 in the tranny, not as quiet as Formula+. But there IS a major climate change between Margate and Coral Springs. You start to feel it as soon as you cross Riverside Drive...

Oh, yes. The cat in the stock headpipe cooks everything near it. Including YOU! I highly reccommend Fuel Moto, all their stuff works.

Gabe just installed the FM pipes, I go with Mobil 1 gear oil, heaviest I can find at the autozone, it works for me, Amsoil is also a great oil too but dont know if they make a gear oil.
