will redline fix this?
ok, i've heard all good things about that redline tranny fluid. does anyone think it'll help with my noisy tranny? my gears make noise, and my shifter is a bit stiff. will this stuff help? i heard it will.

also heard the same thing..
what kinda noisy is it? does it growl or whine?
if it growls, especially in lower gears, that's a sign of bad bearings (need a tranny rebuild).. if it whines a little at higher rpms, that's kinda normal, but you should watch for more signs of tranny failure.

Ry,
My 5 speed made all kinds of noises too and I was on my way to my mechanic and stopped at a light and could not get it in 1st or 2nd gear. Ended up getting a new, not rebuilt, tranny. Been fine since.
Hope things work out for you.

a remanufactured tranny from Courtesy will cost about $2300 for a VE 5 spd.
I rebuilt mine at a local tranny place for $840..
that doesn't include labor to remove or install- just for the rebuild..
the parts on mine included all new bearings and synchros ($500 kit), then 300 in labor for the job.

Hmmm...
I beieve My bearings may be going bad because I hear a clicking (could be growling though) in 1st gear and maybe second. what causes them to go bad? I put Redline gear oil in when I got my ACT clutch installed almost a year ago.
any ideas on what I can do to prevent the bearings from worsening if they are going bad?
