NEO 610 high temp brake fluid, NEO HD trans, NEO RHD center and rear diff (changed last weekend). Trans shifts noticeably smoother.

I am running Redline in the tranny and diff's. I do not recomend this product for your tranny. As soon as I put the Redline in, I started having problems with going from first gear to second. Also, it feels a lot more notchy than the stock stuff. I will soon be switching to a non-synthetic such as B&G. I have driven an Evo with this stuff(B&G) in it and it felt like it had an aftermarket clutch.

My 2cents,

I'm using RL MT90 in the tranny and Neo RHD in the diffs. I would have gone with RHD in the tranny too, but I didn't want to risk giving

an excuse if I had synchro problems (RHD is GL 5/6).

The MT90 has been okay, it feels a little smoother, yet notchier than the stock fluid, especially before it warms up. Pretty sure I will go to RHD when the drivetrain warranty runs out, I really liked that stuff in my NX...
