local speed shop suggests going to synthetic fluid (red line 75w90ns) without friction modifiier in order to cure poor traction lok performance. will this work?

Sounds like a band aid fix to me.

Please define "poor track loc performance" please. One wheel peel? Clutch chatter? You do not need the modifier with syn fluid. Mike

Does sound like a band aid. If you are at all mechanically inclined, just repack the clutches yourself. Doesn't cost that much for the kit.
