[Autox MSP]

does our cars use 75w90 fluid for tranny? and how many quarts?

[AutoBox]

yes, and 2.9 quarts, i just bought 3 qt of redline mt-90 :)

i'mma get the amsoil 2000 fluid, they said it never needs changing. Also do we need an LSD oil additive??

[AutoBox]

i have no idea....good question thou......

Absolutely DO NOT use an additive for the MSP transmission. The friction modifiers are intended for a different application and will jack up the performance of our LS unit (per Redline engineers). Just good old 75W90 (or Redline MT-90) will be a fine replacement.

thank you :)

I don't believe any company that tells me their oil (engine or tranny) never needs changing, synthetic or not. I saw first hand, what happens when morons running "slick 50" and never changing their oil because "it never needed changing" looked like. It looked like pudding in the oil pan after 50,000 miles with a destroyed top-end. :bs: Plus the harder you drive, the more frequently you need to perform any kind of maintenance on vehicles.

My recommendation:

Redline makes very good products across the board.

Spend the $30 bucks every 30k and put fresh in. ;)

Just wondering, do you have to drop a pan or something on the tranny? Change a filter? Sorry, but I haven't gotten underneath the car, and the last tranny I messed with was a TH-400. Thanks, and sorry for the jack!

[AutoBox]

should be a tranny filter some where...i havent cracked open my manual to see....and if u mean drop a pan as in put a pan under the tranny before u drain it..i would hope u do :) unless u wanna contaminate the world worst then it is :)

[kevducridr]

Our manual tranny's are simple drain and fill devices. :cool: No pans to remove like on an automatic. ;)

[mspdfreak]

Cool, thanks!

[AutoBox]

AH...those pans lol....i have never owned a automatic so i was clueless lol sorry

I'll be putting in BG Synchroshift and Kartboy bushings fairly soon... can't wait!

Remove drain plug...drain fluid...replace drain plug

Remove fill plug...fill until it runs out of the hole...replace fill plug

That's it. The only tricky part is refilling the transmission due to the angle of the fill hole. I used a simple $5 pump/tube from Autozone to do the job.

we dont have a filter on our tranny? or are they on autos only?

[kevducridr]

Nope no filters. Just drain and fill. ;)
