Thumbs up Man, I should have changed my Tranny fluid AGES ago!

I just changed my '95 impreza's tranny fluid to Redline Lightweight Shockproof gear oil. The stuff I had in there was bad... Like dark brown with dirt I had started to notice that the car was grinding in EVERY gear just a little bit, so I figured it had to be the fluid...

Anyhow, I got the redline stuff in and OMFG!!! I cant believe the difference, even only driving it like 10 miles! Smoooth now, no more grinding, and the shifts are nice and proper

I dont recommend this for folks who have relatilvy recent tranny fluid changes, or new cars or anything, but if you havent done it in awhile, you might want to

Didn't you have your transmission fix when you bought your car? Or am I confusing you with someone else ...
