One (premature) failure and we're ready to say that Redline caused it it is therefore bad? I put Redline in both my cars years ago and (surprise, surprise!) neither transmission has failed! I'm sure others have had the same experience. If you can show me conclusive proof that Redline caused the failure, I'd be very interested - otherwise, its just heresay.


This has been covered MANY times on these forums. Redline manual trans fluid causes transmission failures. CHANGE IT IMMEDIATELY!
