Synthetic tranny fluid

[dentinger]

alright, so im planning on changing my tranny fluid early next week (manual transmissio).

does anyone (ie, the sponsors) around burlingon/mississauga have any i could buy?
im looking for either Redline or Royal Purple 75w90 GL-4, if possible.
i kinda want it for Monday if possible.

OR!

does anyone know where i could find some locally? Canadian tire only has auto trans fluid (i tihnk), and parts source only has Lucas and Castrol.

thanks guys.

speedtech... i'm not sure if they have a location in your area.

[doughboyr6]

i know for sure precision auto has it, but they are near woodbridge...i was there last week and say bottles of MT-90

I know CTA carries the MT-90 also

[Kevin@nextmod]

Motul is the way to go. I'm going to be switching to motul FF tranny oil after about 10k. and Motul 300V for engine oil.

[CanadaGTO]

Yup. I've always got MT-90 in stock. Replying to your PM now.

Deciding to use Synethic or not, does it make a difference..?

Yes, especially in the winter

[dentinger]

oh ya. shifting is way easier now.
not by alot, but i can definetly feel it.
its not as 'notchy' as it used to be, which is good. and it seems to engage better too.

and for $50, why not? its cheaper than my oil change, and it last way longer.

[CanadaGTO]

Good to see you like it dentinger :)

Got plenty more in stock if anyone wants it.

[dentinger]

oh ya, and its as easy, if not easier than an oil change.

all you do is drain it (plug at the bottom of the tranny, near the back), and then fill it up until it comes level to the fill hole, which is at the front of the tranny, about 7" up.
(it helps if you remove the undercover first)

[Walrus]

Where can I find this in the Kitchener-Waterloo area? Or.. do you ship?

[Walrus]

And.. dentinger, did you use 3 bottles, or did you need 4?

[dentinger]

i used 3 and a bit.
the spec is 3.03L (or quarts. i forget)
so you need 4. plus it helps in case you spill any.
