If this is a replacement for diaqueen, would you suggest running it in the center and rear diff.? Also, I thought mitsu recommended a different weight for the transmission like 75-90. sorry for the noobish questions.

This fluid is the exact 75W-85 equivalent that the Super Diaqueen is, however it is also a full synthetic and formulated to battle high heat (LT stands for "Low Temperature").
I did not like how thin the Super Diaqueen was, and I didn't like how much metal was in the TC fluid after my first drain. So I have been putting Redline Heavyweight Shockproof in my TC ever since. I run Redline 75W-90 gear oil in the rear diff. I have 116,000 miles on my car. There are other options for the TC and rear diff, but I don't run those.

Basically what I was asking was, would you recommend running this in a transfer case and rear diff?

I only have experience with this fluid in my transmission, so I cannot comment on it for a different application. AFAIK, the rear diff requires a 75W-90 gear oil which the super diaqueen is not. Diaqueen may be, but not the super.
