[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 430890, member: 19498"] Ah..I knew I could count on you two for some feedback ;) FYI for those interested Summit and Jegs carries a couple brands GL4 trans lubes. IIRC one is Brad Penn and the other is " Driven Racing" which I used in a Toyota 4x4's with good results. Regarding the Red Line stuff I think it was when I pooped open 4 new sealed quart bottles and in the bottom was this gritty black sludge. Probably a 1/2 teaspoon in each bottle. It kinds turned me off although many said its the moly additive settle out, really Im thinking. I also Used to own several Harleys. They RL was recommended "shock proof" for the trans in some models. If you've ever seen what that looks like picture 350 wt Pepto Bismol. Just didnt get a warm fuzzy feeling seeing that. Ive heard guys on other jeep forums comment the MT90 worked for a few months then it was knotchy and hard to shift in all gears. I used the MT 90 inmy 98 TJ and really wasnt impressed for the $20 a quart they get so back to good old Dino GL4 in it.
