Highly recommend Redline MTL

Mazda recommended ATF for my Miata manual transmission. Most of the Miata guys told me to use Redline MTL so I did.

*HUGE* difference. Everyone I knew with a Miata had trouble shifting into 2nd gear when the car was cold. We assumed it was a "Miata thing" but it went away completely with the Redline MTL! Also the transmission acted like it was already warmed up even on cold winter mornings -- no notchy shifter, etc.

If it made that much of a difference in my Miata, I'd highly recommend it in any other application where it can be used.
