OK Phil, I have my Redline MT90. Ready to come Saturday to switch it out.
Side note, it has happened more frequently as of late, but all the warning lights have turned on at one time in my dash until I shut the car down. They all go on but nothing seems to change with the way the car is performing. What is that and what do I need to do to make it stop?

Someone smack some sense into me. I just bought a short shifter for a transmission that isn't fully working great yet. I might have some buyer's remorse so as soon as it arrives I might be selling it. Keep an eye out fellas.

yesterday i changes the oil in the tranny.. took the RP out and add the redline mt 90
i didn't notice much difference for now
i was thinking if a short shifter could help with the grinding or would make it worst?
go my undertray and already installed it
phil it's ok for you of i stop by later to return you jack?

Short Shifter won't help with the grinding. Stop engine braking if you have been. 2nd gear syncros are not so good for that. I hope you have been babying your tranny since you started having some issues. It might just be on it's way out.

First tranny about $450... second tranny $650...
There are possibilities of getting a rebuild of yours too. Phil knows some people that might be able to do that or you can research around town who is best suited for the job.

Thanks to Phil for the garage and tools and thanks to Felipe for the help with my fluids. Running Redline MT90 in the tranny, Royal Purple high performance synthetic in the engine and starting to premix. I wish I could say that the noise from the transmission was gone but when reversing up a hill I still get hear it. Same with hardcore engine braking so I am still going to baby this tranny.

Hurray on the Tein S Techs! That's a full day's job installing those. I'll help but that **** takes a long *** time! You might want to call AJ about those.

I didn't do it, I had the auto school install them... it took them forever! Two night because the guy was teaching the students as they were doing it. it took AJ like 5 or 6 hours... he is the only cat I know who has done it himself. Aside from Gilbert's friend Mike, but you'd have to pay him.
