Do a quick search for ATF+3. Some have switched to it from Redline MTL and have noticed an improvement. Given that it costs MUCH less, it could be a good way to go.
I find that Redline made no real difference when the tranny is cold from Ottawa's winter conditions. But being in Cali, you should have no problem.

ATF does not protect near as well as a gear oil. It lacks the shear strength and clinging ability to properly protect & lubricate the transmission.
For reliability ATF+3 or +4 is not a suitable alternative to running a properly spec'd synthetic gear oil.
It can help out with worn or damaged syncro though. You do not want to run a synthetic fluid with any type of syncro damage and the added FM in this particular ATF helps.
I am currently running Pennzoil Syncromesh. It is a synthetic fluid based on GM's Syncromesh specs. I have had excellent results with it so far.
It also was only ~$4 a quart and the local AutoZone.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

I too went from redline MTL to ATF+3. I never saw felt or heard any improvement with the MTL. And the tranny if anything felt a little smoother with the ATF+3. I looked high and low and couldn't find the Pennzoil synchromesh(including autozone)
