Changing the tranny oil in the Diesel 6sp

Spec for the six speed is Mercon ATF.
For the best, use a synthetic ATF.
For extra heavy duty use, you can use Redline MTL which is basically a little thicker than ATF. I've gone that route with my truck in both the transmission and the transfer case and like it so far. No shifting issues at all.

Did your redline MTL make going into gear any smoother?
Like in my "synchro 6 Sp..." thread, I am concerned that my going into gears is a little tougher (Not very smooth) than it should be. If possible, I would like to make the actual gear changes as smooth as possible while protecting my tranny.
Also, what is the frequency of fluid changes for the manual trannies?

What makes the biggest difference in shifting actually is making sure the the clutch completly disengages when you depress the clutch pedal. If you have a lot of free play at the top of the stroke that subtracts from the engagement point at the bottom of the stroke.
