Redline gearbox oil

[markoJEK1]

^ thats another example of the product been a topgrade oil, most people do like the redline products but others that have been unlucky like asset, caused his gearbox to eat itself because the oil lost all its values, I myself havent tried it as of yet, am using OEM Honda MTF atm, in my opinion the only trick of running the redline gearbox oil is that you have to replace it every 15,000km / 1 year, for it to function correctly and not cause any damage to the gearbox internals

the oil was pretty expensive.$110 for 5 litres if i remember correctly.and it said on the bottle '1 million km life,never change again'.that scared me.dont know what they are talking about but no oil can last like that,especially under the high pressure experienced in a gearbox.....im with markoJEK1 on this one,its great oil,but it should be changed 20000kms or so

45SET said redline is good " LIKE HOT KNIFE THROUGH BUTTER"

that was before it was it was "like a hot knife throught butter"... the butter being my gearbox.

My new gearbox runs on OEM... and no it wasn't my driving style that killed the gearbox... it was what was in it. After discussing with my mechanic (who races a DC5r) the Shockproof has little particals in it. Over time these tend to bond together, causing "chunks" of stuff... and yeah... chunks of stuff in your gearbox isn't a good thing. (the basics of what my mechanic told me)

I am very fussy with my car, and change engine oil every 5k KM, and gearbox oil every 20k KM.

To tell you the truth, the 2nd gear crunch is a flaw in the DC5r, short of getting your gearbox rebuilt (which i have done) there is no fix for it.

If you would wish to discuss this more (anyone reading this), please feel free to PM me and I can discuss it more if you would like.

Thanks

+ a note on 45SET's notes.. what i did to get rid of the crunching and noises from gearbox and clutch was.. sprayed wd40 where it was making the noise.. and it got rid of all the crunching and everything!

i think the gearbox is just gettin dry of oils and grease.. thats personally what i think..

so no fix of crunching? i say just keep spraying it with wd40! hehe.. if it comes back.. spray it more.. if u got an injen its easy to spray into the gearbox!

Listen to ppl who have actually tried this stuff themselfs. Not people who have heard from their dog's gf's mom's son.

you sprayed WD40 into your gearbox ?

OR do you mean, you sprayed into the FRONT of teh gearbox (where teh rubber boot is) into the clutch housing ?
Your problem is the release bearing is shot and needs replacement.
fix it
