this is a horrible question. redline makes an entire line of fluids, some of which will work in some of the drivetrain components.
what the hell is wrong with this forum? there's more than 10 of these drivetrain fluid threads, all in high page counts all full of horrible information recommending horrible things that are baseless.
is the stock fluid the best? if it was would you be able to put it in more than one component that classically "require" different special qualities? think about that one.
redline 75 90 NS will work in the rear diff. it has nice clutch type differential additive
redline heavy shockproof will work in the front transfer case. it's thick rasberry syrup.
in the 5 speed you can use redline mt90, mtl in certain combinations to get the desired consistency you want. some of this has to do with how often you race and what the local temperatures are if you daily drive.

"Red Line Gear Oils are designed to provide excellent low-temperature characteristics and improved gear protection at higher
temperatures. Red Line Gear Oils will reduce differential temperatures 10-70°F. Efficiency improvements between 1-5% are
typical. The synthetic base stocks used have tremendous thermal stability and provide the best film strength available. The
unique combination of base stocks and additives allow Red Line gear oils to carry higher loads compared to petroleum
lubricants. The stability of these products allow them to be used for extended periods. Red Line 75W90 Gear Oil provides
excellent protection in nearly all differentials, conventional and limited slip, in both racing and street use. 75W90NS and
75W140NS can be used in certain limited-slip units in racing to lock-up the differential. 80W140 should be used in commercial
hauling, problem limited-slip units, racing applications which see tremendous torque at low speeds, and where noise
deadening is desired. LightWeight or SuperLight can be used to obtain maximum power transfer in racing differentials which
do not see extremely high temperatures. If “chattering” occurs with any of these lubricants, Red Line Limited Slip Friction
Modifier can be used to eliminate the stick/slip action and reduce the noise. This additive should not be necessary in the
75W90 or the 80W140 Gear Oils, since they already contain this addtive, but in some units more is required. Too much friction
modifier can reduce the lockup in limited slip units, so it should only be used if needed."
