Default Redline Fluid: Two Thumbs Up!

Just had my tranny and differential fluid changed this week at a dealership. The mechanic was a nice guy and let me get under the car while he changed it out.

I can really tell a difference in the shifting. Much smoother to shift, especially first and second gear. I also believe the tranny is quieter now. Seems that way to me anyway. :cheers:

Wait until it gets cold out. Then you will really appreciate it.

Hi MadDog!

I felt the same way a couple of years ago when I made the switch, including Redline for the engine and WaterWetter for the radiator. The transmission linkage is still garbage, but it did feel a little better.
