Just used Valvoline 75w-90 synthetic.

I was wondering if this is the best. It cost me 50 bucks total for the tranz. The tranz is a little quieter. Is this sopose to smooth out my notchy shift to 2nd? Thnx...hard to tell a diff right now.

should I have used Redline MT90 or is the the same stuff?

Did you read the bottle?&nbsp Did it mention you can use it for your transmission?&nbsp Did it happen to say it was "GL-4" certified?

Dude, you'd be better off buying Redline fluids online if that's the price you're paying. I got lucky and found a great place to get it in ATL, but my other option was online. You can find several places that sell it at $7.95/qt (what Redline lists for prices on their site) here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...e+mt-90+online
