MT-90'd the gearbox today...
I replaced my gearbox fluid with Redline MT-90 today. It was simple...required no jacking of the car and the quantity was exactly 2 quarts. My impressions after a short drive is that...it's not much different but certainly noticeable. All gears appear a touch easier to engage, most of all first, second and reverse. Overall, a good modification for $25.

MT-90 working its magic so far . Better cold shifting and no clunk into reverse . Found that when 1st made the switch to MT-90 that it's good to work through all the gears and gets bit better over time .

Actually went for a drive today and noticed that the shifting is much improved. Much smoother shifts and the reverse clunk is gone. It just seems to slide right into reverse now.

I have never downshifted into first gear but I wanted to update this thread because the difference in the gearbox is worth ranting about. By switching to the MT-90....shifting if phenomenal. I can't stress enough how good of an upgrade this is. Reverse is butter and so are all the other gears. It just seems to get better every time I drive.

I changed it with another dose of the MT-90 at 10,000 miles as a flush , that way would be all synthetic . Probably change it again at 60,000 miles or so . That may be the AMSOIL MTG , also GL-4 and 75w-90 .

Hey all,
I have my car scheduled for it oil change for Monday morning. My shifting has gotten really rough and hard to put into gears. I told the guy last time but he basically ignored it. Now it's worse... so I made sure when I called them that they completely understood that there is an issue with my shifting and I want it fixed. I also mentioned the guy dismissing it the previous time. So I really don't know a WHOLE lot about cars... enough to get around. From this thread, I gather that the gear box has separate oil that needs to be changed to keep shifting smooth? Should I mention this to them? But I don't want to say anything if I don't know what I'm talking about... ![]() |
