Makes me wonder why Clark's doesn't sell something that works for both, given that's what's needed.

Clark's sells the Amsoil gear oil, not the GL-4 transaxle oil.

Curious, why continue to maintain the 'communication' between trans and diff? Given that it's getting harder to find lube that works well in both.
Corsa had GL5 in it when I got her and started suffering synchro clashes. So I changed out to Redline and it cleared up. Then on VV I hear Redline doesn't work with hyphoids. So I change it out (again) to Amsoil from Clark's, as they recommend. Synchro clashes are back, though not as bad.
Why not put a solid (no hole) gasket between them and put Redline in the trans, Amsoil in the diff?

Looking at a mated differential and transmission, without measuring, the two
filler plugs look to be located about halfway between the lower two cases
mounting bolts.. Of course, if ideally they are exactly equally located, and
the cast boss is large enough, it might be possible to have a filling plug
hole drilled slightly off "up" or "down".
