What is the best ZF transmission oil to use in a 1974 Pantera?

I recently replaced the clutch and pressure plate (from PI Motorsports) and have done my best to adjust everything according to the various posts and readjusted over and over.  It just seems like the clutch doesn't disengage far enough, even with the pedal to the floor.  Maybe I need a long throw slave cylinder?  Iam running "Redline Full Synthetic Lightweight / Shockproof" gear oil but still need to shift somewhat slowly or I get some slight gear interference (just slight, nothing major).  It's drivable, but I worry about wear on the syncros over time.  Maybe I am just not accustomed to the Pantera ZF gated shifting idiosyncrasies.  Does anyone think the issue could be related to the gear oil I used?  Any other ideas?
