[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 433026, member: 18789"] When did you put it in and how long (miles) has it been? A lot of people are quick to judge fluids right after install, I like to wait a few weeks and see how I feel without thinking about it. For example, in my 6 speed truck, I installed Redline MT85 after driving the truck a few weeks. Initially I thought no improvement, but a few months later it is definitely better than it was before. Not saying it gets better with time, but it takes some time to truly evaluate it I think. I'm not saying Redline is magic or necessarily the way to go either, just that its always worked well for me. If you truly think it made yours shift worse, maybe go back to something else. I'd at least give it some time if you haven't had it in there long. It can't hurt the transmission anyways, if damage is done, nothing will reverse that, and it isn't going to get worse from the Redline either because it meets the spec the transmission wants. I too didn't want to mess with a rebuild. It was also my DD at the time so that was a big factor but I still have no desire to teardown another manual after the T150 CJ rebuild I did 8 years ago. I didn't enjoy that one. [/QUOTE]
