I was doing some comparitive shopping for some manual trans fluid/gear oil. Royal Purple is over $15 A QUART at the parts store. I really don't want to order Redline, I hate waiting shipping.

So..has anyone had luck with Valvoline, Mobil 1, or even Lucas gear oils?

 

Try http://www.summitracing.com/ they usually have decent prices on gear oils. But I am sure Lucas or Mobil 1 would be fine if you are just street driving.

this reminds me, i need to change my trans and diff oils, havent done it in a good minute

 

As long as it is a GL4 or GL5 rated gear oil w/ the FSM specified weight it should be good...right?

 

I really like royal purple, only problem I had was it would be a little harder to shift when the fluid is cold. and the price of course

 

I've used Redline MT-90 and Mobil 1, I like both, but Mobil 1 is more easily available only like $10 a quart

 

+1 for the Redline.I got it in my TII Trans on an N/A engine.Very Smooth shifting.

 

I use GM Syncrhomesh and i'd say its the best trans fluid i ever used.

I've also been through Redline, royal purple and Honda MTF

 

Amsoil tranny fluid!!!!

 

+1 on the Redline MT-90

 

I've used the Redline since the car was new, but have heard many good reports about the GM Syncromesh with the Friction Modifier-12377916

 

i use idemitsu synthetic racing lube.

like 9 bucks a quart from mtrix
