best gearbox oil???

[EPnick22]

looking at Redline as its easy to get hold of and has a good reputation. Not sure which one is best though, does the starlet gearbox have hypoid gears? On ebay Im looking at mt-90 75w90 red line oil which says its good for use with hypoid gears, but another page with the same oil says the same mt-90 isnt for use with hypoid gears?!?!

I would think the one you need is the 75w-90NS GL5, if you don't have an LSD.

I do have a slight crunch from 1st to 2nd if im doing a full boost pull, dont think the transmission oil has ever been changed to be honest. If it has, was a long time ago lol would fresh oil stop or help this?
