Same here and let me tell you it grinds like a **** now going into first gear. I have my Honda MTF ready to go as soon as I have time.

Honda MTF= smoothness once again.

I've used Redline before. Didn't notice a difference from Honda MTF (besides price of course)

To me Redline is just generic, one size fits all fluid. That's why I'm running Honda MTF at the moment.

Dunno >> I'm thinking of switching to Redline since the Corvette guys have had so much good luck with it.

Back to Honda MTF...

...as most will come back to sooner or later... kinda like the relationship that works well for you,.. but sooner or later you see or hear about something else that looks smoother, is supposed to run better, and you hear about all the great things she can do that yours can't or won't, but after a few romps around the block, you find that in the end, there is too much friction... or things begin to run too thin, all the promises are false, or the performance isn't what you'd thought it would be, and there you go, back to "old faithful"...

Did I mention that I'm eyeing Ms. syncromesh right now?

I paid a bit more money for fluid to last my tranny (cheap insurance) I ran Endless SG80/90 it workes much better over KAAZ , ATS and Redline. I felt a little notchy when it is cold but excellent shifting when the tranny fluid warms up.
