Re: [DML] Just changed to SS Clutch line, better, but REVERSE and 1st gear STILL

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxx>]

Harold - good catch! RedLine does make a GL5 Gear oil called 75W90NS -
from their product list:

"75W90 NS - a GL-5 which does not contain the friction modifiers for 
limited-slip hypoid differentials. This makes the transmission 
synchronizers come to equal speeds more quickly, allowing faster 
shifting and much easier low-temperature shifting. "

Although they state that they recommend the MTL for most transaxle 
applications, this is the only product that would seem to fit the GL5 
spec. 

Thanks!
