Redline Heavy Duty Shockproof candy

Just replaced Transfer oil with Redline Heavy Shockproof. That thing looks like candy syrop. Now I am not really sure if its liquid enough to protect the Transfer Case.

Any sugestions/ direct experiences please??

I just put redline HD shockproof in my TC, slight reduction in noise, although mine is not too noisey to begin with.

i used redline in my 03 trans. t/c and diff. 3months later my t/c started whining really bad, had it replaced under warranty, a couple months after that my trans. started grinding 4th gear, had it replaced under warranty. they filled the trans. with BG syncroshift and put diaqueen in the t/c and diff. when they replaced that. after that it was perfect, i would never use redline again in my evo. in my 06 BR350 IX#005 i use BG in trans. and diaqueen in t/c and diff. the car shifts like it has butter in it.I know redline is a good product, i used it in other high performance cars i,ve had(domestics), but not in m my evo

Going back a couple of year every one that was using redline in there tcase had
problems.Use only diaqueen in your tcase and pennzoil syncromesh for the tranny.
I used BG syncroshift once and when the tranny was cold it was hard to get into
gear.

after i changed to BG a couple of weeks ago in trans.i noticed a big difference in the way the car shifts, smooth as glass. also removed res. pill and put on a ss clutch line, was like night and day. so the next morning i didnt let the car warm up . it was in the high twenties overnigh and i didnt let the car warm up i wanted to see how it shifted cold. to my suprise it still shifted nice and smooth and within 5 minutes of driving it shifted even ten times smoother then when cold. ilove this stuff and wouldnt use anything else in trans. diqueen in t/c and diff.

This thread is about Redline Heavy Duty Shockproof not BG or anything else. I just want to make sure it'll run fine.

You probably used the Redline 70W90.

Anyway, yeah Redline Heavy Shockproof is fine.

Redline HD will work in TC depending on where / how you drive. Because it is so thick, it takes a long time to heat up to normal operating temp. If you live in a cooler climate or do lots of short trips, this will eventually destroy your bearings. If on the other hand you live in a hot climate and/or race the car (especially track use) more than street drive it, you will not have any problems.
