Did the Redline MTL tonite...

'01 SE 72k.. Took about an hour. The job was easy. Pretty big glob of sludge on the magnetic plug and I found another one in the bottom of the drain pan. No big metal chunks, just a fine black paste. Can't really tell if shifting has improved yet but I'll sleep better just knowing the gearbox oil is fresh. I haven't been too impressed with the gearbox.. kind of clickly and sometimes just plain stickey coming out of a gear. After reading a great post on this board about double clutching, I started doing it and found that downshifts were much more smooth. Didn't think that would be necessary with a modern sports car. We'll see if the Redline improves downshifting (it's a syncro thing). I've always blipped the throttle when downshifting but never felt the need to double clutch until this car (and after reading that great post I kind of got hooked... it's a sickness)
Note: I flushed once with about 1.5 qts of MTL with only the left front off. Remember to take the TCS off and you can run through the gears with only the LF off the car.
