Flush tranny before Redline switch?
I need to replace the shifter bushing before she comes out of winter storage and plan on switching over to Redline MT-90. Does it make any sense to flush the tranny after the first drain and if so what to use to do so before the Redline goes in?

Just fill it with the MT-90.

Make sure you losen the fill plug before you drain the existing fluid.

Drain, plug, and pour. If it would make you feel a little better, you can let the old stuff drip for a good while.
