swap out your tranny fluid for about $80-$120 (depending on if you do it yourself), get some sway bars, or a used canzoomer box.

Depends on whether you want performance or aesthetics related mods and what you currently have besides the teins.

Gold adds 5 extra horses. Seems like you are going more for looks... I'd save up and do the whole job--body kit, etc, etc... however I'm a performance man so I'd tell you to get the RB exhaust system...

$120 may have been to high, the fluid is about $9-10? a bottle, and you need 6-7? of them for a MTX. that doesn't include the install, if your not doing it yourself. Don't forget to get new crush washers.

ask anyone who's swaped it, if they think its worth ~$100, trust me, its worth it.

What does the Redline do above and beyond the factory oil?

Isn't it 2 quarts of MT90 and 2 quarts of 75W90 so $40 + 8 s/h = $48? At least that's what I ordered on Monday. Don't want people to buy more than they have to.

Rotario, check the DIY forum.

I'm pretty sure its more than 4qrts total, but I would have to check the manual.

The redline/royal purple synthetic tranny fluids make shifting faster, smoother and more precise. On top of the better heat protection.

Thanks, Brillo. I checked the DIY forum, but didn't find anything specific on the Redline oil (or maybe I missed it). I appreciate your comment.

Best,
Bill

Short shifter is a good investment if you have MT.

Well you could spend $20 of it on the raffle and then you could have $980 to spend!!!!

Check out my signature for details. Everyone is eligable, not just people planning on going to the Dragon meet and the raffle ends when the last ticket is sold.
