Used mt 85, transmission felt good for less than a week. Now it is like poop again

I have to chime in here - I'm reconsidering options as I'm not at all impressed with Redline in my tranny or diff. I just changed it and have only put around 1000 miles on the car since. Used MT 85 for tranny and 75w90 for the diff. I'm going to go Motul and possibly sooner than later.

The car honestly feels no different after getting rid of the fluids at 30,000 miles. The diff fluid was almost completely black too.

its normal for the diff fluid to be that dark. it only has 2.5 to 3 qts of oil in it right? think about how many miles that is. I used mt90 for the trans and I have noticed since it is colder that it is a little bit harder to shift due to the fact that it is cold....but it is something that I tolerate because most of the rest of the year it is warm here. to each their own.
