Default Transmission Fluid + 4.77 Diff

I'm wondering what people are running in terms of their transmission fluid/diff fluid and past experiences.

I've switched over to Honda MTF2 this season and I hate everything about it. I was running Motul before and shifts were 100% without a grind.
Motul was used in my 4.77 tracy sport Final drive + ATS 2 way Carbon Lsd and it was amazing as well; switched over to royal purple and hate that as well lol. What viscosity can I use with that diff? ... I forgot what I had in it before lol

I have a j's 4.44 fd and a ats carbon 2 way LSD. I use the Honda mtf and mogul gear ff for the diff.

Tranny every 10 000km and diff every 5000km

My trans is notchy as hell in 2nd, 3rd and 4th, I drained and refilled with Honda MTF and it did nothing. Anything better out there? Or should I start looking for a new tranny? Lol.

I use amsoil synthetic, and found it really great for my tranny. Needs approx 25-40km to warm up, notchy before its warm, but when its warm its smooth like crazy.

The weighting works great for the recommendation for the LSD with the gear ff.

Mine takes longer, I went all the way up to Highway 7 and 404 from my house and it still wasnt fully warm. Lucky bastard! I guess I exaggerated a bit with 40 km, but for me it takes about 20km still. Havent tried cold days yet, the next few weeks will be its test.
