FLATSPOT Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Hi can any one tell me if you can use redline MT90 GL4 in my 04 gearbox its a bit notchy going in to second gear I read it helps make the gear changes smoother Quote
Neilp Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 99% of people ive heard using aftermarket stuff have had major issues. Best to stick to oem with molyslip additive. Pm Zmanalex as he has it all in stock at a fraction of the dealer cost Quote
coldel Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 I bought Nissan genuine gear oil from Alex and added moly, makes a whole world of difference Quote
ZMANALEX Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Genuine Nissan Fluids in stock and good to go same/next day Drop me a pm if I can help you further mate Alex. Quote
Flex Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 I bought Nissan genuine gear oil from Alex and added moly, makes a whole world of difference I concur! Still a bit notchy but feels a lot better! Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 You wont get rid of the notchyness when it is cold... just have to be gentle, which is a good thing in the cold anyway Quote
Shinjuku Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Or double clutch into second for the first five mins of driving if your complaint is that this happens when cold. Quote
MaDMaXX Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Yup, genuine 75w85 worked well here, but selecting 1st when stone cold without being at almost a complete stop is almost impossible Quote
MaDMaXX Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I have to say that changing to second is fine when cold, but i did find that 2nd doesn't appear to 'feel' straight back from 1st. To better explain it, if i pull back to 2nd in what feels like a straight line then it will try and clunk/refuse to go in correctly, but if i pull if back to what feels like half way between 1st and 3rd, then it slips straight in, no problems.

Shinjuku Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Thats interesting. I will try it. Assume you mean second and fourth! Quote
MaDMaXX Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Nope, 1st and 2nd, obviously below though Quote
Aust350z Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 99% of people ive heard using aftermarket stuff have had major issues. Best to stick to oem with molyslip additive. Really? I'm using Redline MT-85 and no issues here. Maye placebo as it was after a service but a smoother shift. Quote
Shinjuku Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I thought the redline was supposed to give a smoother shift but it has some substance in it that also produces wear inside the box and has been said to contribute to premature failure. Quote
MaDMaXX Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 You might be referring to GL5 gear oils, they contain additives that cause premature wear in yellow metal gears. Also, what's this molyslip additive, has anyone noted any difference when adding to Nissan oil? Quote

Genuine Nissan oil + molyslip is about the best you can get You never get rid of the notchyness when cold but once it's warmed up it is smooth as silk Quote
ZMANALEX Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 In stock and good to go same/next day Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 In stock and good to go same/next day I would have added that but I was worried about copyright infringement Quote
MaDMaXX Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Depends on the price shipped to the states Quote
