Does the Shockproof have similar detergent properties as some of the other fluids that are available to us?

Pepto-Bismol

Will the shockproof work in a clutch type of lsd?

BTW, UL has a bunch more of the specimen cups if you need them

Will the Kaaz/other clutch types work w/ standard 75W90 gear oil?

From Redline site http://www.redlineoil.com/frames/gearoil.htm Under friction modifier.

xviper, will you be doing a review on this Reline for the S2k transmisison as well?

krazig, is it safe to use this oil for the S2k transmiision? Could xviper do a review on this as well?

TIA

Mmmm not that important still, info most people will be interested to learn, what's the price between the two lubricants???

I have had the opportunity to use these and other lubes. It seems to me that although heavy shockproof may offer some extra protection the price paid for that is some small additional operating losses due to the viscosity. Since I have never heard of wear problems with these units I chose to use regular RL 75W90 gear lube (RL recommended choice for our car and street use) on the theory that it is adequate protection with less loss (and it feels the same from the drivers seat). I will be interested in hearing your opinion of the heavier lube, especially in your cooler clime.

Although the rated viscosity can be pretty high, the cold viscosity is still 'normal'. There is also low internal fluid frction, for little power loss.

"The Heavy can be rated as a 75W250 Gear Oil, but has the lower internal fluid friction of an SAE 75W90. The LightWeight can be rated as a 75W140 Gear Oil, but has the lower internal fluid friction of an SAE 30 motor oil. The SuperLight can be rated as a 70W90 Gear Oil, but has the lower internal fluid friction of an ATF. These ShockProofTM lubricants provide much greater viscosity in the thin layers between the gear teeth, but have very low internal fluid friction, which means very little power loss for the protection achieved."

There is "a low viscosity when cold" per RedLine.
