I used Redline Light Shock, and Microglide addative. The light shock tested almost as well as the microglide on the pressure wheel. I haven't tested transmax on the pressure wheel, but it still doesn't make sense to me putting auto trans fluid into a manual transmission.

" ATF because gear oil was not able to properly penetrate the small, caged, needle bearings "

" I emailed Bob Hanlon at Halon Motor Sports (T5, Temec transmissions); he said that the ONLY Redline product that could be used in a world class T5 is the Redline ATF called D-4. The Redline gear oil, 75W90NS, will not lubricate the needle bearings in a WC T5."
