I'm not sure what redline shockproof is, but have certainly heard of redline. Use only GL4 in your 97 Maxima, do not use GL5 or any GL4/GL5 blends. I would be inclined to replace the axles seals. What condition are the CV boots in?

how do i fill the tranny with the fluid. i took all the intake stuff off to look for it. is it the bolt that looks like you need to put a rachet in there? i thought that was it but i didnt take it out because its on the side of the tranny housing. i thought that it would leak out. all i need to do i fill my tranny up and ill be ready to test my coilovers. thanks
