Thumbs up Manual Trans: Mt-90 and RE mounts review

I replaced my transmission fluid with redline MT-90 today. If you live in in colder weather (I'm in Florida) you might wanna go with MTL. Also replaced the stock trans mounts with ones from Rogue Engineering.

I did these at the same time, so this is the compounded effect.
Shifts feel great!
Zero NVH increase.
Less rubbery when switching gears. Notychyness is still there, but it feels good notchy. Like instead of the notchyness keeping you out of the next gear, it lets you know that it's in.

It's hard to explain the effect, but know this- If you go this route you will not be disappointed!

I used Redline ATF-D4 in my MT, i agree that changing out the trans fluid makes a noticable change, that fluid was black. (70k km)

You can do a Redline cocktail too, we used to mix MTL and MT90 in the DSM world. It worked great. I tried a ton of different ones and the only thing better was Neo RHD. It is really hard to find though. Amsoil was junk and royal purple didn't last very long.
