Shifting weird, explain gear lube plz!

[Pimpin Dsmstyle]

I solved my lock up problem in my transmission. However, now it makes weird noises and small things I can feel. I suspect gear lube would be the solution. Can I get an explaination on why it does this? Also, I do not understand how to find the right gear lube. I dont know what the numbers mean. I also dont know what GR3,4,5 etc means. Does the kind get effected by cold weather? You can PM me information or post.

GL-4 Redline is what you need. All the noises and things you can feel are probably the damaged created inside the tranny from when it locked up.

GL4 redline. Got it. Arent there certain kinds of weights and what not? Some gear lube doesnt even say what GL rating it has.

2 qts MT-90 and 1 qt of MTL

Where can I get redline? Checker? Napa?

[Kracka]

Archer, QPR, etc. Generally, only peformance shops will carry it, but I guess some Pep Boys do too.

QPR should have some in stock, but they seem to run out of it quick. At QPR you can get 2 qt MT-90 and 1 qt MTL for about $30.

We have it in stock, I just went through and explained to him in a PM however that it is not a cure all and he would probably be wasting money since his tranny is already making noise etc. I would use it for the purposes of protecting a good tranny, improved shifting, and maintained viscosity under load and higher RPM, reduced friction is also good. Putting it into a tranny that is at best questionable would likely be a waste of cash. I am not turning away business by any means, however I don't want people to buy stuff just because we sell it. Or for any other wrong reasons. If you change the fluid with the much less expensive fluid from Wally mart and the like, and the old stuff isn't full of transmission particulates, and the noise has dissapeared etc making you believe thet transmission will be worth the investment, then I say go with the redline, it is the best fluid IMO. Hope that helps.

Your explaination in the pm made my decision. I am just going to buy the good shit because it is only 30 dollars. I have to make a trip up there anyways friday, so what the hell! At least I'd know that i was purchasing the correct stuff for my tranny.

I would stick some cheaper stuff in it for like a couple hundred miles, drain it and then if the noises go away and shifting appears normal, put in the redline. That will clean out all the metal particles that could be chewing up the internals.
