Never heard of it. I've been very happy with Redline ATF products in both my manual tranny on my Ranger and my Toyota automatic. I use Redline D4 ATF in both. It's about $10 per qt and I buy it in the gallons. I also put it in my power steering. Good stuff

thanks for the feedback.......I might swap over to synchromesh.......lubegard red is an additive for automatic trannys.......I think it is one of the few additives that everyone agrees is great.......you should try it in your automatics........I was just curious if anyone had used it in a 5 speed.......

try it in your manual and find out. seriously!
I tried a few synthetic atf's in my manual and felt that redline shifted best but I have never tried synchromesh before.
