Probably use the MTL. It worked pretty good for me on both counts. I had some rough engagement in 3rd gear, not a grind but not as smooth either. That was under the ATF. Then I went to redline and it was gone and has been gone for a two years.
Just a quick note:
That Royal Purple MaxGear is working great!
It has completely quieted down the mechanical noise from the Torsen LSD in hard sharp turns from a stop, and it seems to have hardly affected the shifting. There have been some cold mornings here and it has still shifted fine with no roughness. IT seems maybe a fraction more resistive about shifting on those cold mornings when I first start up to leave, but once up to operating temperature it shifts great and is much quieter to boot.
