Opinion on Tranny and Diff fluids.

[wsmeyer]

You could order it tonight through Amazon and have it sent to Jon's house. Overnight for Prime members is 3.99. If your not a Prime member I can order it for you.

call up some specialty speed shops and/or BMW/Porsche/Ferrari/etc indy shops. I buy my bottles at Black Forest Porsche/BMW cause its the only place near me that has it

William proposes a hell of an idea!

And good call on the high end Indy shops... Devlin, I'm going to call a few places around here as I'm coming due for fluid changes as well, and I'd like to get a source on the Redline goods...

And for the others... The shop I bought my ZHP from said they changed fluids and put Redline Shockproof in the transmission. Any thoughts on that? And if so, which weight would you prefer? I'm thinking the Superlight??? I love the way it feels.

royal purple is a no no..

Redline is okay, but OEM is better

I would use Redline 75w-90 in the diff. Or OEM fluid, (pricey..)

And the OEM MTF-LT2 fluid in the tranny.

the OEM pentiosoin can be had from Authaus.AZ for around $40 (2 liters, enough for the fluid change)

Because High End Indy shops are high end.

Sorry to threadjack but I was thinking about changing the fluids in mine as well. What I've read about the manual transmissions is that its supposed to be a "lifetime" fluid. Obviously nothing lasts forever so I was curious how you would go about changing the fluid out on a 5 speed manual. I've done the diff before but not the tranny. Is there just a simple drain and fill plug?
