Im going to order this miracle fluid, just wondering if anyone has used it in there GSR's?

 

I do not reccomend this, I did it on my First tranny and It went to ****, I only use honda MTL, this supposed magic fluid is not specifically designed for Hondas. All this coming from a fan of Redline fluids.

 

Really? I dumped this stuff into my 89 supra turbo and 90 300ZXTT, took away the grinding in 4th and 5th gear. Any reason that it wouldn't work well? good thing i asked/

 

I agree stick with OEM Honda fluids. I used redline fluids in my 91 hatch w/B16 swap. My tranny started grinding while shifting gears after a while.

 

I have used Red Line MTL in 4 of my Hondas and in over 10 of my friends'.

It works fine.

 

i havent heard anything bad about it yet....me and a couple of my friends run it

 

Works just ducky in my RS, but I've only had it for a few hundred miles. Make sure you get MTL, NOT MT-90! MTL is the proper fluid for a late-model Honda tranny.

 

Where did you hear about the MT90 part? I looked on Redlines website, you were right about the MTL being used in newer trans that have to meet a certain regulation. If anyone is interested.... http://www.redlineoil.com/frames/mtlti.htm

Another poster on H-T (forgot their handle ). If you read your owner's manual it talks specifically about using GL-4 lube. It's a touch lighter than a GL-5 fluid (such as MT-90 and Mobil 1) and has different friction modifiers for the synchronizers. MTL meets the GL-4 specification.

 

I'm happy with it!

 

i would be an ******* and say search and blah blah...
but oh well..
this topic has been covered many times...it's coo tho...
synthetic doesn't allow your synchros to operate properly...
honda MTL has additives the tranny NEEDS....
also GM synchromesh works very very well i hear.

 

thankx for the info EVOL

 

Thanks everyone for the help. By the way if you haven't noticed the search function is down.

 

I just tried a search and it worked just fine.

Honda trannies require a lubricant w/ 10w30 properties. Redline MTL is just such a lubricant. MT-90 is for trannies that require 75w90 gear oil, like many Nissan trannies. Evo was right about the tranny needing friction additives for proper synchro operation. Redline MTL also has this. I have not personally tried it yet, but I don't see how it could possibly be detrimental to the tranny.

 

Try it. If it grinds, you know what to switch back to.

 

the search is not down,its just they changed us to a different server in which it doesn't contain old threads just recent.

 

In that case, the search is f****d.

I have used Redline fluids in my last 5 cars. No problems to report. Just be sure to use the proper lubricant for the proper application. Honda/Acura trannys use Redline MTL. Works great, shifts smoother, supposed to work better than conventional(dino) oils when it gets cold. I give it a

 

I use it, no problems

Anybody ever think that your tranny starts grinding cause of the abuse it's taken, and not the fluid? I know Civic trannys arent the toughest things out there, and are very well known for grinding from 1st to 2nd. I personally have had two that have done it.
