Transmission Flush (Manual, Redline MT-90)
#21
What are some options with types of transmission fluid you can put into the tC? You used Redline MT90, but are there others you can use, and if so which ones? I know very little about changing the transmission fluid, thanks for the answer(s).

Im sure there are other fluids like Amsoil and Royal Purple but I havent researched or used them so I cant say for sure. I just know the Redline has been used with excellent results in the past so I used it. I do know the Mobil 1 should not be used though as people report lots of grinding with it.

honestly, I have never bought trans fluid before. If I go to the store there is going to be bottles clearly marked Redline MT-90- correct? .....and im going to have to get 3 of them correct? Do they just come in one size?

Redline is more of a specailty item and may not be available locally (at least the gear oil). I got mine (3 bottles) here:

So we drain it completely before, we change to the new product. But is it possible to get all of the old stuff out? Wont there be a little left over that will be mixed with the new different material being added?

When Centerforce did my flywheel and clutch they used Royal Purple in mine. It seemed to make a difference like you said. Great write up by the way. When they did mine, we used the normal drain hole and used a pump that goes on the bottles and pumped the fluid into it. Worked good that way too, but you did a great job on the write up.
