Redline MT-90 worth it ?

I just had that switch on the bottom of the tranny replaced because it was leaking and my macanic put in regular MT oil..?whatever is normal?..Do you think its worth draining again, and putting the redline MT-90 in. Does it make that much of a difference or what ??
How much money ?
Where do I buy ?

I noticed improvement, but not right away. It took some driving to get the gears smooth. I can finally get it in first gear at low speeds. And the gears are falling in place much smoother now. Get it!

$45 for oil and $20 for labor with the switch replaced. Good Luck.

I think it's www.redlineoils.com. If not just og to yahoo and search redline oils and it will come up. They have a search function you can use to find local dealers. Do a search on this org for redline and I think there is someone out there with a dealer code or something that'll get you a couple bucks off if you order it.

Can't give you a review because I haven't done the swap yet. But my impression from all the posts I've read about it is a resounding YES it makes a difference

Does the old tranny fluid have to flushed or is a simple draining ok before the Redline goes in?

I swapped my stock 5spd tranny fluid with Redline mt90. the difference wasn't as dramatic as some make it seem. it won't hurt to change it w/ Redline, but you should set your expectations at a reasonable level.
