                    Heres a heads up to you new guys :

                    Redline MTL or similar weight products will leak like a motherfucker if your current seals are showing any hint of a leak now .

                    Reseal your trans if you have anydoubts as Redline MTL is too costly to leaking out all over the place .

                      Thats EXACTLY what I did. Since the gearbox was out anyway I decide to change the synchros as well. I'm on Amsoil MTL Synthetic. Great improvement on gearchange over Castrol stuff specially when cold.

                        I'm a big RP fan (Run it in my E46). But I do like Redline as well

                            How hard was it to change the synchros?

                              I will second that. Even with new seals mine still leaks (Redline) ever so slightly. Maybe I scratched the seal mating surface pulling out the old seal, I don't know.
