05 Maxima 6MT transmission flush
Hey guys, I am new to the maxima community and I finally knocked down my 15 posts About a week ago I bought a 2005 Nissan Maxima S.E 6MT with 68k, fully loaded except for the G.P.S option. So far I love the car but I feel like it some times 2nd gear doesn't shift smootly. I would like to flush out the fluid and was wondering which fluid should I use and yes I did some research on the forum. People have different opinions, although I am a true redline fan and I would like to stick with it. I have used redline in my Evo and my vr4s and it works great. So I guess my question is which redline fluid do you guys use in the manual transmission. Do you mix Redline MTL and MT-90 or just use Mt-90 alone and what is the capacity for the transmission oil? Also I need to order couple of things and was wondering if you guys can advise me on any good sites specifically to order parts for Maximas? Thanks and I look forward to learn and have fun on this forum.

+2 Redline MT-90 is the way to go, after i did the flush last summer, the car shifts like butter! When I drained the transmission, i lowered my floor jack to make the car more or less level to get as much out as I could. When I filled it, I just let it flow til it started dripping out past the threads.

I have about 68k on the car but no idea if the previous owner changed the transmission fluid and I am not taking any chances. I will let you guys know in a couple of days how the fluid looks. I know this for a face that Redline products are awesome because I have used them in my vr4 and evo and it works like a miracle, I sound like a redline sales rep
