This was to inform all on how to reduce grinding when shifting into reverse.

This was written respectfully as possible.

I will be as respectful as possible as well. This issue with shifting into reverse with the stock or other conventional fluod is a known issue. Expecting someone to shift into first just to shift into reverse is unacceptable. Telling someone to be patient isn't a cure to the problem. Sure, it is possible that drivers are over anxious to shift, but the issue has even been noted in published reviews. Once again reviewers could be over anxious to shift, but they have experienced many many manual transmissions in most cases so they have firm ground to stand on regarding the behavior. I have driven a few dozen different manuals from various vendors and have experienced this only on well worn transmissions not brand new ones. I had the issue within the first 1000 miles. Changed to synth and bam, resolved. There is a reason why so many manufacturers are switching to even requiring synthetic; it is a much more tolerant and better working lubricant.

I put in AMSOIL MTG (http://www.amsoil.com/catalog.aspx?code=MTGQT-EA). I only have 9500 miles on the car, but it made a difference. There is less resistance in the gearbox at all speeds, especially low speeds. I've heard it only gets better with time.

I had access to a lift, but the job was VERY simple. I could have done it without a lift easily. Get yourself a funnel with a long tube, two quarts of fluid, and a 15/16th wrench.

It's worth doing. I'll probably change the fluid again in 20,000 miles. Why not?

I put it in my manual yaris I am not that impressed with it on cold morning I feel a little grind when I put it in 3rd gear until it gets warmed up I have been thinking about trying something else

I put Redline MT-90 in this last summer and love it. And now that winter temps are here I couldn't be happier with the decision to use it. I never really notice a cold shift difference vs. warmed up like I used to. And reverse engages a lot smoother than it did before the change. Give it a try-two quarts will set you back about $22 most places.

Awesome, I was thinking of using the Redline in both her Yaris and my Jetta. I've heard good things, and I can pick it up locally for 12 bones without having to pay shipping. I'll post back up after the fluid change and tell you guy how I feel about it.

gonzo452001 · 01-02-2010, 08:50 PM

I think I will

gonzo452001 · 01-02-2010, 09:11 PM

shouldn't we use the 75w90 instead of straight 90w

gonzo452001 · 01-02-2010, 09:26 PM

Ok the mt90 is 75w90 ordered 2qts from amazon

Hershey · 01-05-2010, 12:59 AM

you won't be disappointed . Takes a little time to get the full benefit . Work through all the gears , including reverse .

sleey0 · 08-30-2010, 03:54 PM

Just replaced my MT tranny oil today at 22k miles and WOW! What a damn difference.

Good to get the old gear oil out of there and some new - I bought the car used at 19k miles and who knows howthe original owner drove it or grinded 'em;) lol

REDLINE 75w90 FTW!!!

Hershey · 08-31-2010, 02:20 AM

It's amazing . No more grinding , smoother shifts , and no clunk into reverse . Used it in a '08 we had . Better cold shifting too . Enjoy

.

sleey0 · 09-01-2010, 12:21 AM

I know it!

I really didn't think it would make a difference ESPECIALLY since the old oil that drained out was very clear and seemed still good.

I wonder what brand and type of oil Toyo uses as the factory fill for the MT tranny.

Shroomster · 09-01-2010, 03:12 AM

^^^something that has a lot of assembly lube in it most likely....

sleey0 · 09-01-2010, 12:22 PM

Yeah, you are prob right. lol

DeathBeard · 09-01-2010, 12:54 PM

Is 75w90 the correct weight for 5 speed?
