Question Redline or Royal Purple?
Does anyone here know what would be better for the lancer 5 speed? and maybe some recommendations on which type to use?

So would switching to royal purple, redline, or mobile 1 make the physical shift feel smoother, nothing clutch related? This is my first Manuel car, so gear oil is a new thing

i noticed that the operation of the transmission seemed a lot more smooth--but that could have also been because i doubt the previous owner of the car ever serviced the gearbox.

hmmm I have about 60k on my lancer and I know no one has serviced the gear box so that just might be the next thing I do to the car, or maybe pay to have done....

Thanks
