Manual Transmission Fluid
Does anyone have a recommendation for what brand/type of transmission fluid to use for the manual 2k.
I've heard of using Redline MT90, but I can't seem to find it around here.
Would Dexron III be ok?

You can order MT-90 from Stillen (they will probably rip you) or Courtesy Nissan, to name a few. I buy mine locally at S-K Speed for about $9.00 a quart. Stuff's expensive, but worth it.

The 5 speed drivers should have 5 quarts on hand to ensure they have enough.
