Thumbs up I changed my transmission oil...

I've had the stuff to do this job for several weeks, and finally got it done last night. I did an motor oil change, tranny oil change, and brake fluid flush all while I had it up in the air.

For the transmission I used Redline MT90, which is a 75W90 GL-4 rated synthetic. My car's 3rd and 4th gears were little stiff when cold, but after warming up would shift nicely. This morning's drive with the MT90 in there proved to be a big improvement! The shifter was about half as balky going into 3 and 4 as it was before the oil change, and just seemed slicker overall. I'll be paying attention over the next few days to see if it continues to get better, but with the improvement I've seen already, it was well worth it! An easy DIY project.
