MT-90 is without a doubt, the best transmission fluid I have ever used in my R154.

I HIGHLY recommend it.

Actually, both the tcase and tranny are GL4/GL5. The problem with using a GL5 in the tranny is just that it's TOO slick and the synchros don't work as well.

I use GL5 heavy shockproof in my tcases to help quiet them down.

gl-4 should be fine in the t-case, but I would recommend a gl-5 for the rear axle. gl-5 has better extreme pressure additives (moly? I think)

Transfer is same spec as trans; MT-90 is fine. MT-90 is NG for diff, though---GL-5 only. Interestingly, Nissan specs GL-4 only for its truck transmissions.

I used mt90 and MTL 50/50 in both the tcase and trans, mobile 1 hypoid in the diffs. 235 on the rig and shifts perfectly smooth, big improvement over the initial notchy grinding and synchro clash into reverse
