I dont know. Maybe I will order Redline from Georgia, but... What is the factory OEM specs for both oils? I thought it was 75W90 for trans and diff...
I'm not going off stories or reviews, dude. Bob is the oil guy is a forum, like this one, where fluid engineers debate these things. That is where you go for info, not online reviews. The factory specs are in your manual, but there is a very good reason we're all running MT-85.

So Redline MT-85 and 75W90 gear oil will eliminate my notchy, otherwise stiff shifting?

If the issue is fluid related, yes. If not you have to start looking at mechanical causes. But this is the most likely solution.

Not guaranteed, but it's a good start. Even if it doesn't, you are better off with it
