RE: [DML] manual transmission oil change



  When I replaced my throw-out bearing- & did a bit of routine maint. to the clutch- I turned the tranny upside down, & let the oil drain out all day. I then added Amsoil Gear Lube to the trans. Same weight as given in the specs- 80/85.  Works great.      Drive Stainless    Robert   VIN 6924

> The PO of my car told me that he changed the manual transmission oil to "Redline 65". Well, its time to change transmission oil, and I am wondering a few things. First, I can't actually find this oil that he said he used. I have looked over the Redline site, and they make some interesting points about manual transmission oil that is "too slippery" being bad since the synchros won't work so well, etc. I note on my car that in cold weather I indeed have that occasional problem. I am contemplating going to more or less the recommended fluid, or maybe a synthetic like Valvoline 85W90.
