Default Redline Transmission Fluid

Switched to a 50/50 mix of Redline MTL & MT-90 in the transmission, and it really helped the notchy feeling I got when shifting into second. I am happy with the change.

There is a drain plug on the bottom of the gearbox and a fill plug up on the right side of the unit. You will need some type of pump to get the new fluid up to the fill plug.

Oh- and make sure the fill plug loosens BEFORE you drop the drain plug!!!
