MTL and MT-90...
ppl r givng me different feedback as far as choice goes...
what would u choose?

 

[Peaty]

I got a clash when shifting after I switched to Redline in the tranny, I had to switch to the SuperLight ShockProof. It did wonders.

 

[psaeko]

just a bit confused

So which one did u use 1st?

Why superlight shockproof?

my friend's advice was to use MTL first.

Please brief me on this THanks...

my current problem with tranny is tha I sometimes miss shift and often get grind when I put on 1st gear ( at stop or <5 )

At fist I used 75W90 NS and got some gear clash unless I was very deliberate in my shifting then went to the Shockproof.

PS I don't think you will prevent the clash when you are shifting to first if you haven't stopped. If it happens when you are stopped then the Shockproof might help.

How about 3rd to 4th? it always grinds for me if I am quick about it. I know there is a thread about it on I-club but I really don't want to crack the case just yet.

 

[psaeko]

I guess...

I guess i'll try shockproof

btw........should fluid be on rear differential changed at the same time also? Minez MY99 so it has open differential....

 

[Peaty]

I did my rear at the same time too.

PS the shockproof should help with a 4 - 5 clash I had that too

Don't use MTL!!! Not heavy enough.

I use 3 qts MT-90 and 1 qt Ultra Lightweight Shockproof in the tranny and 1 qt 75W90 in the rear diff.

I use lightweight shockproof for my tranny and 75w90ns for my rear differential. I like the slick shifts I get while driving normally, but it's designed for tranny abuse... and I do that too without problems.

MT-90 is a GL-4 (our tranny's require a GL-5). I used that stuff before and my tranny wouldn't want to go into gear especially into 1st gear at 0 mph. I hated the shit it wouldn't allow me to do.

i have 75W90 in both my tranny and rear diff. i found that the shifts were a bit smoother, especially the ones that are usually a bitch (down to first and reverse). i have been very happy with it.

Per Redline Oil , 75w90 has friction additives for limited slips and 75w90NS is for manual trannies. This is my setup, and it is pretty sweet!

It's 3.7 quarts for the tranny fluid, right?

I changed the gear oil and ever since then I get a gear 'clash' even when I'm stopped. It sucks.

When I put in the 75w90NS I couldn't shift w/out getting a grind. Went to the shockproof and it went away.

I use this combo as well and I'm very pleased with it.
