Thanks a lot for all the advises,
Is the Delvac the one called Synthetic ATF?
Will try to find it in France .
Delvac in N. America is what used to be called SHC. Don't know what it's marketed as on the East side of the pond but here's a link to an English Delvac description
So the SHC is not that suitable then,
I think my choice would lean towards the
Motul 300 LS, from what they say it's suitable for high performance and competition with LSD.

I have used both Mobil SHC and Motul 300 gear oil (neither with LS friction modifier additive), my experience was that SHC feels like it gives smoother changes if synchros are in top condition but can baulk more on worn synchros. Motul allows older synchros to work more effectively while being slightly less smooth feeling overall.
I think both are high quality and lubricate, protect and manage heat as well anything out there.
So do we need LS features in the oil for the G64? I have always just used the Delvac product that I do not see any mention of LS in the details for that oil.

From it has been said in the past in different threads , yes
Looks like you can buy a 5 gallon bucket of the Kendall Super three star 75w/90. I'm thinking of buying a bucket. Would four SoCal locals be interested in buying the four extra gallons? Just throwing it out there.
For street use the lsd additive is probably ok, but what it does is reduce the effectiveness of the lsd. Not what you want in a track car.
It does more then that. Synchros require some friction to operate. The Redline LS additive may be making it too slippery for the synchros as well. The whole reason I don't care for the Redline gear oils themselves is that even their NS is too slippery.
Keep using the SHC and skip the LSD additive. All it really does is make the LSD chatter less. It does not improve performance IMO.
