Amsoil transmission fluid

What kind of Amsoil transmission fluid do I need for my M6 2SS?

Do I use this for both the rear differential and the manual transmission?

Synthetic Manual Transmission and Transaxle Gear Lube (75W-90) API GL-4 : 1 QUART

I keep seeing that the oil is called Automatic Transmission Fluid. Is there any reason for that because that confuses the heck out of me since I have a manual.

I've also heard that for the manuals, you use the same kind of fluid for the tranny and the rear differential but on that link it shows two different products

Honestly, I tried that rear diff fluid and I'm not sure it actually has the friction modifier. Changed it out and after a few hundred miles the rear started clunking and whenever i turned, it made a rough vibrating noise. Took it to the dealer, they flushed it out and added the friction modifier. Been smooth sailing ever since. The transmission fluid is great tho. Just make sure about the rear fluid :(

Edit: Just make sure you get the Amsoil Slip-Lock with it. My mistake for not catching it before...
