For the trans, I just replaced whatever was in there from the previous owner to GM Synchromesh Friction Modified. Got rid of griding and also made shifting a little smoother. Whatever you put in the trans, make sure it is formulated with higher friction for your synchros to work correctly. But, if you do a search, this GM S. FM seems to be the best you can get for your car. Otherwise I'd use the Honda MTF.

You can't really use anything labeled "LSD OIL" in the diff of an S2000. It doesn't have a clutching type LSD. Things labled as LSD oil usually have abrasive additives in them to make the clutches stick and keep them from chattering.

This will not work in a S2000 torsen/helical diff.

Yes, Motul PA90 is good to use in the S2000 differential. Go for it!

Motul PA90 is good. I've been using it for the last 6-7 years, no problem at all.
