RED LINE Gear oil

I love it, I noticed the difference right away. All the notchiness was gone or at least a lot less noticable after putting the mt90 in.

Pros: difference right away, less notchy

RED LINE Gear oil

I disagree with any redline product. I've had 3 VW's always used VW gear oil, never a tranny problem. My Scirocco has 160,000 miles and the tranny has never been touched. Whenever I hear of someone haveing major tranny problems needing a rebuild I've always asked if they were using Redline, and the answer is always yes. See, it is much too slippery for VW transmissions. Yeah your gonna clear up your second gear grind and smooth up the shifts but you causing damage to other parts of the tranny like bearings.

Pros: smooth up the shifts
Cons: damage to bearings
Vehicle: Volkswagen Scirocco
Mileage: 160000 km

i say yes, redline in my 8v trans made it quieter and it shifted better, redline in my rebuilt 020 has done the same.

Pros: quieter, shifted better

I say nay. The only time in the 6 years that I have been driving Mk1/Mk2 VWs(count 12 of them) that I have used Redline gear oil, also happens to be the only time I have blown up a transmission.

Cons: blew up a transmission
Vehicle: Volkswagen

redline, GL-4, MT-90 but check with REDLINE apps for you car (MTL vs MT) . THis stuff is liquid ball bearings for the GERMAN car, doesn't work in Italian gearboxes though.

Pros: liquid ball bearings
Cons: doesn't work in Italian
