Tranny Fluid and Additives
« on: September 20, 2003, 03:50:03 pm »
I was having some problems with my third gear syncro: ie. It wasn't doing anything. I was grinding every time I went into it. It turns out that when I had my last clutch replaced, they drained all my liquid gold out (BG Syncroshift 2) and put shit in. So I descided to try somthing new.

-50/50 mix of Redline MTL and Redline MT-90
-One tube of Mollyslip manual transmission additive

The problem I was having before, was the fluid was heating up too much, and causing the syncro not to do anything.

With the new fluid, it takes a while to warm up, and is a bit notchy when cold, but no more grinding. I highly recommend this mixture, and the mollyslip seems to have made a pretty big difference.

I've never tried the molyslip, but I will most definetly recommend the 50/50 mix of Redline MTL and Redline MT-90 :) .  Makes the car shift waaaaayy nicer

I am running a 50/50 mix of Redline MTL and MT/90, and a little GM synchromesh in there as well.  A noticable difference in shifting right away.

how would you go about doing this?
bleed the fluid and then fill up with the 50/50 mix?
