Gear Oil and Transmission Failure

This dude 'Jon' who had the 9K tranny die on him (see 9K BB
thread '9000 Turbo blows its diff to bits...') just emailed me
and explained that he changed his fluid 4K miles ago with
'Redline or something.' He is going to double-check and get back
to me. I have noticed mounting evidence from respondents to TSN
over the years that there may well be a link between Redline MTL,
or perhaps just gear oil, and transaxle failures. All failures
of this type that I've seen, however, have been shortly after
installing MTL. Accordingly, I think a warning needs to be
issued and I'd like your advice on how to dissiminate it.

I'm sure that a blanket statement about MTL might cause the
Redline folks to become a bit chapped, and since the evidence
I've seen is only circumstantial, perhaps just some warning about
using gear oil in general would suffice.

What do you think?
