I had 4 quarts put in, but the shop says there is room for another quart... but on the top of this page http://www.bullittarchive.com/Misc/Tremec/ it says not to fill till the fluid runs out of the top.. So if i have 3.9 quarts in there am i ok?

On on another note, the 1-2 shift is sooo much smoother along with getting into reverse and every day shifting

Redline Gets a

Is this in a 5 speed stick?

Sorry for the "stupid" question but I am confused. I see the ATF, which to me means Auto.

Ahh, I didn't check the sig.

Still confused though, does it help the shift to use ATF in a 5 speed stick?

I have always been told to put atf in my 5 speed cars...

Does anyone even sell manual tranny fluid?

According to Jon Veith (sp?) at Tremec, they do not recommend using Redline fluid in the 3650. In fact, the recommend approx. 3.5 quarts (3.2 liters?) of Texaco Merconregular dyno ATF or if you have to use a synthetic, Mobil One.

For better information, see the 3650 thread located on the top of this board.

Tremec says that the life of your tranny will be shortened by the use of synthetic atf, but factory fill is synthetic

So i'm guessing I'm ok with just under 4 Quarts.. the shop I went to recommended I buy another bottle and let them fill it to the top, but i'm guessing i can trust the bullittarchive write up.

the driveability is so much better with the redline fluid so i'll hope I did the right thing.

NEVER GO BACK TO THAT SHOP AGAIN! They have NO idea what they're doing. Just like the shop that put 80 weight gear oil in my brand new T5 and fried it within 300 miles.

"Fill it to the top". Tell Tremec that a shop said to do that and Tremec would probably sue them.

Now, as far as Tremec not recommending Redline OR synth... I guess I'll email them right now.
