Default I changed my transmission oil today and used RP 75w90

I used Royal Purple Max Gear 75w90. It made a difference I could feel and hear.

The shifter movement is smoother and requires less effort. I don't know how Redline oil is, but this oil has made a noticable improvement. Also, the tranny is quieter than before. This oil has the same addittve as the motor oil.<ul><li><a href="http://www.synerlec.com/products.html#cat5">http://www.synerlec.com/products.html#cat5</a</li></ul>

Default Bingo ! But I dont stock it yet. Just the motor oil for now.

And frankly, I don't make very much by selling it, so I hope you don't think I really care if I sell any at all (no offence).
It just so happens that this oil works very well, and I will be stocking it for my own customers and using it myself. I do believe it is better than other sythentic oils.

If you need it I can get it . Thats all.

Default The S4 transmission oil is involved in so much of the drive system that I'd worry about changing it.

From Synchros to gears to Torsen, they all bath in the same oil, and have very different requirements from it.

It has no clutches. I used the proper weight,and it does shift better.
