So far, all the discussion on the merits of synthetic gear oil has
related to old gearboxes.  I have heard that synthetic oil should not
be used in new engines because it prevents things from wearing in
properly.  Do any such considerations apply to new(ly rebuilt) gearboxes?
If this stuff is so great, should I put it in my rebuilt roadster tranny?
It sound like I should definitely put it in the rear end.  I should
clarify that the tranny has some new parts (syncros, sliders, bearings)
but not new gears.

Can I get Redline tranny lube at my local BAP or such like?
