Redline for m58

Post by darylrobert »

ANYONE using Redline Mtf 75w80 in their M58 gearbox? . not sure whats currently in the box or if its ever been changed but shift quality ranges from okay at times to very frustrating . Sometimes get blocked from reverse, like maybe the 5th gear to reverse inhibitor is stuck...wont work after tying other gears and slowly letting out the clutch doesnt work

I tried it once, made not a single bit of difference in shift quality
