Get Your Redline

[2003eclipse]

Well if any of you would have drove my car when it was really notchy before and now 500 miles later like brand new you would probably talk differntly about what it can do.

Isn't GM Synchromesh and BG Synchroshift the same oil?

It seems like you guys think i just talked shit about it. I didnt.
From what i have read off a site was that your syncros will syncronize better because of more friction that the redline gives and this is why i dont want it in my tranny.

More or less.

The 2 aren't close, actually. Now, back on topic! If you want, you can start a new one in basic tech.

The topic is about tranny fluid....

so your saying if I glued sandpaper to syncros they would grab better?
thats sweet, im gonna get right on that. :)
Personally im all for having 'stick' thats suspose to stick, and stuff that doesn't stick well, shouldn't stick.
thats why the fluids in my car are:
mobil 1 synthetic 0w-40 or 20w-50, pending season
redline fluids in all drivetrain
motul 600 in brakes and clutch
and some pos p.s. fluid!
anything else would be uncivilized :jammin:
to each its own, redline is an awesome fluid imo, and I've tried a lot of other items, use to 'stick' to my 'napa oil' until I switched over.

My personal opinion of redline is that it can suck my left nut. I would use water before redline....oh wait, it's the same thing. :fworld:

josh try it out ;)

So how does redline reduce tranny life? Because it has a little more friction so the syncros actualy work, so this must cause wear somewhere else? no. I have drained many trannys, almost all come out gold/metalic and crappy. We need to use GL-4 or lower grade fluid. Other wise syncros and bearlings get eaten up, causing way to much damage($500 or more). Also the redline is a synthetic there for not breaking down under high temp and stress levels. I just did a big race with a mustang and my tranny turned to a slush box because of my wonderfull fluid in there. So I plan on putting in redline and it should hold up to the high heat and stress of 500+whp and 155+mph.
