Hey all I recently did a tranny swap and my old tranny had atf in it but the new one had the green sticker so I put 90wt in it. My local AP store didn't have Redline in stock so I went with Lucas 90wt. Now with these cold days it doesn't shift good till it get's warmed up (like 5 minutes max). When it was warm outside it was fine. It will grind just a tiny bit from 2-3-4 but when it gets warm it completely goes away. Again this has only started in colder weather. Should I have went with something thinner? I have some Syncromax in the garage but it is really thin. I had it for my Getrag in my 3500 Cummins.

Gear oil will kill your transmission if it hasn't already. You need to run MTL or MT-90 wich are both GL-4 fluids. GL-5 has a lot of sulfur in it and will eat away at the brass synchros.
