A sample of the used Redline is on its way to Blackstone now. I'll probably pull a sample of the Motul at 10k miles for testing too. I want to see if the Motul has any effect on brass wear. It shouldn't, but there's a lot of FUD around its GL-5 rating and the EP additives.

For me there were two reasons why I didn't leave the stock fluid in: First was getting any break-in leftovers out of the transmission. The drain plug has a magnet that picks up most of the ferrous particles, but I wanted to minimize the amount of junk floating around in there and potentially causing any premature wear. Second reason was for feel. My transmission (like many others) didn't feel "right" on the stock fluid. Redline was better, and Motul has been better still. The shift action is much smoother to me, meaning there's an initial resistance as the shifter goes into position but it then engages smoothly with no other feedback. Whereas on stock fluid I could feel something interfacing as the shifter moved into position, after the initial resistance. It felt like the syncros weren't working quite enough, but it's hard to figure out from just the feel of the shift without having a lot more knowledge about how the transmission is built.

It grinds for me every time i down shift practically and when im above 4k and try to put it into 4th gear fast. The only time it doesnt grind is if i really hold in the clutch a long time and just let it slide in super slow.

Is it an audible, noisy grind or just something you can feel in the shift lever?
