hey everyone, i just pulled my motor and re-sealed it. fixed all the little issues and replaced the clutch. i figured that i would change the tranny fluid while im at it. i could find the recommended fluid if i wanted to, but im interested to see if anyone out there has any secret fluids that they have used or know of. sometimes when shifting she wont always go into gear the easiest.. usually at higher RPM's :-). im looking for something that will assist a little with a smoother shift and maybe better lubricant for the gears.

Redlile cocktail fluid. They sell it through DB and map.

2 x Redline MT90 + 1 x Redline MTL (preferred for DSM/8/9)

Or, if you're lazy, 3 x Redline MT85

Neo RHD is my favorite, with the redline cocktail a fairly distant 2nd.

I'm pretty sure I have 2qts of red line lightweight shockproof and one qt of red line mt-90in mine

Might want to rethink Shockproof in your transmission.

Hmmm that's a good read. I might have to rethink the shockproof in my trans. Good thing I already have 2 qts of red line mt-90 and a qt of red line mtl here at my work

My trans is a shep stage4 so just for the heck of it I called sheptrans. They said for a daily driver type car they would recommend redline mt-90 but with the horsepower I'm making they recommended running straight redline lightweight shockproof. Or they said 2qts shockproof and a qt of mt-90.

Now I'm a little conflicted on what I should do lol

I guess I would run what shep says to run, he built the thing.

You are probably correct. And since I don't really know how much abuse the trans has taken they said I should probably have it gone through sometime soon. They said the 3-4 gearset tends to weaken. I will probably try and send it in to them as soon as I can. That probably won't be until next winter though so hopefully it holds up
