Hard to shift.
A while back I had a fourth gear grind at high speeds. I put some Redline heavy duty shockproof oil and the problem went away. The only thing I have is that on idle or when the car is cold it won't go in gear as easy. Do I use the friction modifier from the factory to fix this problem or does anyone have any suggestions?

ya might be a clutch problem... where does your clutch engage on the floor? or at the very other end? might need to adjust your engagement point, or need a new clutch.

One of the more popular cocktails over at NASIOC is 50% redline shock proof lightweight, 25% Castrol Syntec 75W-90, and 25% Pennzoil Syncromesh. I've spoken with Redline on the phone, and they say that their gear oil is 100% compatible with other synthetics and petrol-based gear oils.
