the mt75 stuff goes waaaaaaaaaay to thin when hot.

all the gearbox specialist i spoke to recommend fully synthetic 75/90 including barra who built my mullit box. ive been using it for 20k no probs ,seems to keep the box quieter to.

As above, dont use ATF in the transfer box, use a gear oil.

Look at this range of oils:
