Redline is known for killing t56's IIRC the composite synchro's dont like it.Also make sure your gear stick is tight on the box. Althought the symptons of the hard shifting/gear selection first thing in the am sound like an oil issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think from my experience with Redline in the engine and gearbox that it has a far better reputation than it is entitlled to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
