Since then, the owner at Arizona Transaxel, whom I asked recommendations for oil has panned redline. The synthetic will not fix worn parts though. I got a few more miles while I waited for funds to accumlate to buy a rebuilt tranny. The whining quietd a bit, the very tired 2nd gear syncro shifted better. It will shilft better and easier, especially when cold. The synthetic MT-90 is all good, it will make your tranny last longer due to better lubrication, and run cooler. Since then I bought a syncro and asked a different Vanagon mechanic about refreshing the tranny with redline, but he said that he couldn't recommend redline anymore because he's noticed that a many of those vans seem to need a rebuild not long after the change. At the time I thought, well, it was just time for this transmission to quit. Not long after that, maybe another 15K, I had to rebuild. 1990 multivan, mileage was about 120k at the the time. It has been about 20k since the rebuild and it is still perfect.Īt one time I had my stock tranny lube replaced with Redline at the recommendation of my mechanic. He did a rebuild on our 79 bay and put in Redline. You might ask Daryl at AA Transaxle who is the local guru:
Since Redline is synthetic this might not apply.

Whether or not it was necessary I don't know, but it kept things working great and it felt good to see that old discolored fluid pouring out. In the case of the bay is was about 50k and the vanagon maybe 70k. On both my bay and vanagon which had dino fluid, I changed when I noticed the shifting getting a little stiffer. Looking for experiences or actual tested information on life of this stuff. Bentley does not recommend any change of fluid at any mileage that I could find.
Stuff could probably last forever I don't know. The transmission gear lube is an interesting fluid in that it is not exposed to any "crankcase ventilation" otherwise known as contaminate infusion. When would be a good time to change transmission lube Redline MT-90? 30,000, 60,00, 100,000, when the tranny blows up? Posted: Tue 9:43 pm Post subject: Redline MT-90 change
REDLINE GEARBOX OIL FOR 1995 MIATA HOW TO
I’m just here to show you how to lube the shifter turret if you so desire.Quick sort: Show newest posts on top | Show oldest posts on top The old guys who had NA and NB cars believe it needs lube. One camp seems to believe that the turret greases itself. There’s some discussion on as to whether this is needed or not. Well done! NC Miata Shifter Turret Grease (MT) Nothing like the after-maintenance test drive to give you a sense of accomplishment. Remove the jack stands and drive the car around in glory. Once you’ve got most of the quart empty and fluid is coming out the fill hole, torque the fill plug to the same spec, 29-39 ft-lbs.
REDLINE GEARBOX OIL FOR 1995 MIATA INSTALL
Once the fluid is out, install a new 18mm crush washer and torque the drain plug to 29-39 ft/lbs. Don’t get any on your shirt because GL-5 gear oil is smelly stuff. Don’t be that guy who can’t get the fill plug off and doesn’t have any lube left in his diff! That means laying under the car and pumping fluid. There’s no good drain plug in my NC’s trunk. The diff uses less fluid, but I could not figure out a way to add fluid from on top. This is roughly the exact same job as changing the transmission fluid.
