mt-90 anyone?

Just wanted to get some opinons on this stuff from local people in the bay area. I am heading to MPJ soon to get my clutch and flywheel replaced. And i am planning on using redline mt-90 to fill my gear oil when they replace clutch and flywheel. Does anyone have experience with running mt-90? Any good or bad issues?

According to Mike other fluids tend to not be "subaru friendly" and the standard gear oil used in subarus from the factory works best.

I have an upgraded clutch/flywheel and an RA gearset and I still use the standard fluid.

I've been using MT-90 for a few months now and I have to say it feels great. Quiet transmission and smooth shifts. I'm switching to a GL-5 oil soon though, I got some of the 75w90ns.

Per Mike/MPJ recommendations I switched back to the stock gear oil after using MT-90 for about a year.
When I had MT-90, there wasn't much noticeable difference, maybe a little more "notchy" than stock.
