Honda MTF is perfectly fine and does the job quite nicely.

redline mtl shifts a little easier than honda. the gm stuff isn't bad and probably the best for a clutch type lsd. not really needed for a gear driven one though

OEM is better than any other and actually Honda has a new formula for more protection, Redline is good but not so friendly with the bearings!!!

you read about the D series failures. for some reason redline and plastic in the transmission don't mix. this is a non issue on S80 boxes

Re: Another TRANNY question

nope, I said that because this happen to me. overheat the bearing, I think it's ok if you drive your car easy but for race I don't recomended!! and I agree that the Redline put the shift veerryy smooth.
