which is more important to you, functioning synchros or non-binding LS clutches?
If the transaxle makes funny noises you can add small amounts of LS additive until it goes away.

For me synchro function is important and LS function is not

Isn't the Pantera ZF a limited slip type?
o shouldn't it have LS gear oil, period?

 Theoretically Red Line 75W90NS is the best because it is not so slippery that 
t makes it difficult for the synchros to work.
 Anything that says "for limited slip differentials" is theoretically too 
lippery and will cause premature synchro wear.
 
 But I can't say I noticed any difference in shifting when I changed from 
alvoline Gear Oil to the Red Line.
