I can get the Amsoil locally too, haven't found MT-90 yet though.

I'm also planning on doing a transmission swap. I ordered a set of the carbon fiber/brass synchro rings from Synchrotech and will be replacing the synchros in a spare transmission I ordered off eBay. I also use the Amsoil in my transmission and honestly, especially in the cold climates of Northern Alberta, the auto parts store Redline fluid was much better suited for my uses. The redline was more solid down low and didn't grind, but up high it often grinded. The Amsoil fluid grinds down low but is flawless up high in the tach. But I won't be using an Amsoil fluid again in there. Not suitable enough for my uses
I'm thinking that whoever owned my car before me blew up the transmission in this car. I've only owned it for around 7k miles and I already feel like the synchro rings are worn out. Hoping the aftermarket synchros will help me
