Manual Transmission fluid. What are you using and how do you like it?

[Datsrboi]

Yes I search and saw some results but they seem somewhat old. With all the new stuff out there I figure I just bring it up again. R154 transmission...3-400hp daily driving car, what do you recommend I use?

What are you using and how do you like it? And where can i get it at? I was recommended Synchonmesh or something like that.

Redline MT-90 is the best match for our manual transmissions

 

[suprarx7nut]

Redline MT-90 here, but its a W-58. It's smooth, but it's all I've had in the Supra, so I have no comparison.

I changed it the day after buying the car.

Redline mt-90 here

 

[CyFi6]

no reason to do anything other than mt 90 unless youve got some kind of high hp or specialty something that requires otherwise. Shifts nice and has a lot of support from other people

 

[MK3.0dudeman]

I have ams oil.It's ok I guess.My trans is still kind of clunky but it's smoother than befor

MT-90 is the BEST!

 

[bowsercake]

MT-90 made my transmission smoother, less grinding

 

[Datsrboi]

cool. Guess Redline it is for me. How much was it a bottle? I know I can look up in the tsrm but how many bottles do I need?

 

[avp23]

What i want to know is how many of you fill up your tranny till it spills out the side from that side drain plug. and how many of you use a certain amount????

I used to fill mine up to the side drain plug untill it spills out but then i was told to add XXX amount:3d_frown:

Im running Redline MT-90 now i was running royal purple max gear and i didnt like it at all the trans felt very notchy and hard to get in gear, The mt90 has made it much smoother paired with the marlin crawler bushings its like a new trans!

 

[Poodles]

I've been through em all I swear...

-Had normal dino oil in there. Had a notchy feel into second when shifting hard and fast (AKA....RACING).

-I tried Royal Purple Max Gear... Got a grind going into second almost all the time, shifting hard was a bitch.

-Next was Royal Purple Syncromesh....disaster, the bastard was loud, would grind everywhere, people looking at me like I can't drive my car...

-Last and forever will be in my tranny is Redline MT-90. No more grinding, no more notchy crap (well, nothing over how notchy the R154 is by design), and it's been great ever since.

So in other words

REDLINE MT-90

 

[Tun_x]

I run two parts redline light weight shock proof and one part redline mt90..

 

[Orion ZyGarian]

I've always used MT90 in my hot pocket DD, because thats what everyone says to run regardless of car. I was expecting a magical difference, but after changing it and the diff oil (which were both nasty) I noticed none. Perhaps because its a newer car in decent condition.

As such, I'm not expecting much of a difference in my R154 when I switch, but its a good piece of mind.

 

[Datsrboi]

So I am reading it is more of a racing oil then a daily oil. Can anyone prove that wrong or input on that?

 

[tbcmorris]

Wow.....eveyone says royal purple sucks and I loved it over my dirty old oil....now I can't wait to swich to redline!
