* Fully-synthetic formulas created from polyol ester base stocks, offer excellent lubrication under extreme conditions
* High viscosity-index (VI) to provide relatively constant viscosity and film thickness with varying temperature change
* Ester base stocks and friction modifiers provide additional slipperiness to lower operating temperatures by reducing the sliding friction in hypoid gears
* Superior shear stability and reduced oxidation compared to other synthetics and conventional gear oils
* Exceed API GL-5 specifications
* Engineered to provide the highest degree of protection and improvement of differential efficiency for better mileage, longer drain intervals, and less wear

That's news to me. I've had it in my transmission for 15,000 miles now. No problems what-so-ever. The transmission shifts like butter.

I remember I did search few year ago, when i just bought the mustang, I came across this thread, and it say some one is talk to Tremec repesent , and they say never use redline product on their tranny.

Upgrade I did call redline today, and they say they not recomment me this product for my rear, they say 75w90 is better for my application.

The shockproof gear oil works great in the 8.8 rear ends.

Amsoil severe gear oil 75w90, rear is quiet as mouse. And it beats all its competitors in wear test, well worth the investment.

GL-5 is 75w90 gear oil. I dont see why this wouldnt work in a rear end. Also, as mentioned already this is a pretty thick oil to put in a transmission IMO.
