The right Torque? + Gear oil

I bought every tool i need to remove my tanny, but what i want to know is what should i have torqued? because im sure everything i need to remove to get my tanny out doesn't have to be torqued back on. Im just trying to make sure i do a job right, i put to much money into this to mess something up because of something little that could have been avoided.

I didn't want to make another thread about this but i cant find any redline gear oil for my tranny in any local parts store, Where should i look? Whats the best gear oil i can get? money isn't a problem here. everywhere i go i only see GL-5 and i know my tranny needs fully GL-4 because i hear GL-5 messes up the syncros.

Thanks Guys

you wont find Gl4 off the shelves. get amsoil 75w-90 through GD from talkinghorse or redline MT90. for the torque specs look it up on the FSm

Not all gl5's are bad for the tranny. Only the ones that use sulphur to get to that rating. Like Mobil 1

Would royal purple gear oil be ok, and synthetic gear oil should be ok right?

Care to back that up? I've been using motul 75w80 for about 2years now with no problems. My mechanic has used it in his spec_v race car for even longer than that.
And its gl5
