Redline MT-90 has been user-proven to be very effective. It's also a GL-4 rated product.

If you are having synchro problems ("crunching" under hard to moderate shifting), then try a Synchromesh fluid. GM Synchromesh is twice the price of Pennzoil Synchromesh which is the same spec and works very well also.
