not a fan, I run GM snycromesh in mine, it's just a better fuild imo.

Never been a fan of redline's stuff honestly or RP for that matter.

 

i also run gm snycromesh in mine. helps that i work at GM. i switched to it about a year ago. i have a couple friends that run RP and havent had issues. to each is there own really.

 

i only run honda in mine, but my friend had put synchromesh in his and was horrible, then he put a heavy weight syntetic oil....i would stick to honda mtf.

 

I ran it and it was pretty good. I run redline in everything, race motors and also just the stock crx, motor and tranny. When i went to a knew clutch in my dirtbike, I couldnt use synthetic oil any more so I used some leftover REDLINE Superlight Gear Oil in the car trans and it feels better than the MTL. In all honesty though, I am going to try some Syncromesh and see if i can "bandaid" by 2nd gear slight grind at high rpm. MTL, and superlight both improved it from regular 10w-30, but i would like to see if anythign does any better. One thing I found with both REDLINE products, is that downshifts feel a lot smoother. I used to not be able to get into first if until about 12-15mph, now between 20-25 it clicks right in.

 

Ok i think im gonna give it a try and see how it feels

 

Ok so after just over 900 miles the tranny feels good a little smoother than the 10w30 ive had in there. Im going to keep using it and maybe when it comes time to change it again ill try the gm syncromesh
