Default Gear Install....

Sorry guys I know this has been asked 1000 times and I searched and searched and searched but came up with nothing. Anyway, I have three questions.

1) Should I use Royal Purple 75W90 Max Gear oil? If so, how many bottles? 2?

2) On Royal Purples website it says that it already has additives for the clutches, etc. Should I buy a bottle of FRPP friction modifier anyway? RP says no but I have heard yes. Whats your opinion?

3) I am also going to be putting on a rear end cover at the same time. I also have a MM panhard bar waiting to be installed. MM says that there may be clearance issues with some covers... does anyone know of a company that makes low profile covers? Or just anything that will fit specifically with the MM panhard bar?

So do you think I should buy three bottles or just buy two? I dont want to have them run out of fluid.

OK. Sounds good. So question one is definetly answered. What about two and three? Whats everyone elses take on the friction modifier? I think I might just go without it like suggested above.

I am pretty sure all synthetics have the modifier..you only have to add when you use regular oil.

OK. Thats solved. I am picking up three bottles of RP 75 90 gear oil tomorrow morning.

Does anyone know about the panhard bar situation? I really want to order the girdle cover tomorrow morning. The faster I get it the sooner I can get my car into the shop to get these biatches installed.
