here's my .02, if its worth even that :o)

Synth ATF is good for the stock diff, the pinion shafts need all the lube
they can get.  And it's good for open track if you have a quaife, as the
quaife tends to cook up the fluid to 250F+ under severe use.

But for street driving and drags, I like regular ATF.  Shifting tends to be
much smoother, especially if the blocking rings are new.  Didn't realize
this a few years back when the first few trannies I rebuilt, used Mobil 1
synth ATF and they all shifted like junk.  Finally figured it out and from
then on I always use el cheapo organic ATF with new rings.  (and be easy on
them for a several miles).
