Tranny fluid?

[Albert]

Has anybody replaced the trans fluid in their MSP/MP3/etc.?

If so, does it make a difference in shifting? Was it hard to do? What kind did you use/do you recommend?

I'm thinkin about getting the Kartboy shifter bushings, and figured I'd do as much as I could to get it shifting like a hot knife thru buttah.

I just put in three quarts of Redline MTL yesterday, and I can tell a big difference. I have the Kartboy bushings as well, and shifting is nice and smooth now... It isn't hard to change at all, it will take a pretty big socket, but other than that it's like an oil change without the filter.

Here you go...

I'm a novice at car stuff, but would have to agree it is a simple project. I have the Kartboy bushings/short shifter and put in some Redline tranny fluid. Haven't had any problems and it makes for smoother shifting.

I have MT-90 and It helped out a little. It will help long term wear.
