manual transmission fluid

Redline MTL is a good choice, it really improved the shifting in my clunky ol' Getrag.

I wouldn't use the Mobil-1.

I have it in my truck, which shifted fine when I got it, but after about 10,000mi I changed all the drivetrain fluids, and replaced with mobil-1 75W-90 synthetic.

A friend of mine, only runs the mopar oil in the tranny, and his shifts so much better than mine. He tried the mobil 1, but after he thought his syncros were going out, (86,000 mi) he changed to mopar. 3 days later, it shifts perfect again.

I don't know about the Redline, but I may try Amsoil, as I know a distributor for the stuff.
