Redline Fluids???

How's it going guys? Well I am lucky, I am due to change my oil, tranny fluid, and diff fluid....And I was looking at the redline fluids, and wanted to get some feedback from people that has used it and, see how it worked out for them. Thank you

I hear a lot of people saying they like Oem fluids more than redline...And people also say they like BG Syncroshift. I have searched and read other threads, I need to change the fluids in my car ASAP, and need to make a good decision...I am starting to get a 5th gear grind. Thanks

In the FIVE SPEED ONLY you can use Redline straight MT-90 or a blend of MT-90 and MTL(2 mt-90 and 1 mtl in colder climates).

In the Transfer Case and rear diff use ONLY DIAQUEEN LSD that you get at the mitsu dealers.

I have run both Redline and BG Synchroshift in the tranny. I much prefer the stock setup.

ONLY! OEM diaqeen in your FRONT/REAR dif - as far for stock F/R TC.
you can order it from slowboyracing.com I would change oil every 20K as far tc/trans.



RL lightweight in your trans if you stil got the stock clutch.

a 4L can will last you quite a while being that the TC and rear diff take just a little more than 1/2 a quart to change.

I use the Syncrhomesh for the Tranny and it has been better then the Redline or the stock fluids for me. I had the nasty 5th gear grind, but the grind was covered under warranty and all the synchros were replaced. The suck part was I would still get a grind in 4th and 5th when the car got hot, but I put in the Synchromesh and it has never made a noise since.

Well I just went to the dealership, and they told me to come back on Monday and it will take 5 days, and I have to pay $0 and they will put fluid back in the tranny for free with bg syncroship 2. NICE...How Much?
