Was just wondering everyone's opinion on the product before I buy it. I am having a little trouble getting into reverse and sometimes 1st, a friend at the local aamco told me to use Redline MTL and it will fix all my problems.

Is this true?
Also, how much do I need, and should I also use redline brand gear oil for the rear end?

First Google result:
Perhaps, if the current trans oil is super old / dirty / low.

The FSM contains all specs. You should download it. XenonZ32.com Reference

I've never seen Redline fluid do anything but leak no matter what kind of car. Nothing special about it besides that.

obviously thefiatek doesn't understand the basics of gasketing and tightening.
i have used Redline in all my Z trannys. It isn't a miracle cure for an abused tranny BUT if yours is a little rough between gears it will usually smooth things out. use any good synthetic in the rear end. whenever i buy a car i just change all the fluids so I have a base line to go to for maintenance. been using Mobil One in all my vehicles as engine oil for forty years. Did you ever check the tranny oil level?

I always use Redline MT90 in all my trannies,used it in my 93 TT and all my 280ZXT T5 Trannies.I feel the improvment in shifting and the noise.....

Ok Roger Dodger...you're the expert

It's well known that certain synthetics and the detergents contained in them often seep past the SEALS, especially when a car has over 75k on it. I wouldn't know, I've only been servicing exotic cars for 30 years professionally.

Using redline in the z32TT. Had a slight 3-4th grind. Virtually gone now, no leaks. Almost 200, 000 kms on the car.

Just because you're paid to do something for a long time doesn't mean you're any good at it unfortunately.

Well in this case it does. I only service and restore private collection cars and I am in very high demand. I can pick and choose what to work on and when. I typically don't touch anything worth less than 100K. The Z is just another toy to dink around with and master while I drive it. I do like the car though. I must admit it's pretty well put together and cool but still a far cry from some of the German and Italian cars when it comes to performance.

As for the synthetics: It's a well known issue with seal seepage, it depends on the application but most with over 75k end up leaking. I've had a lot of clients that have been sold on redline and had leaks which were coincidentally fixed when replaced with factory recommended fluid. I was speaking entirely from experience. So if it doesn't leak in your car, good for you. If it does then oh well, either replace all the seals or put the recommended stuff back in. I use nothing other than factory recommended on almost all cars. My choice, my opinion and my *** if it leaks.

Done wasting bandwith on this.
