[LCML] sticking H55F

[Greg Riemer]

Frank:

I would gamble a bit first before I dropped a pile of money in it.  If you are not going to be using it more than runs to the beach I would first try to lubricate it better.  I know this sounds silly but I have had toyota transmissions that would not go into first gear or would pop out of 5th or 4th at highway speeds that worked like new after a few weeks of driving around with Redline MTL synthetic manual transmission oil.  The stuff is magic.  It is all I use now after my brother told me it was all they use in their race transmissions.

If it works you will get a few years of driving out of it, if it doesn't you will be out the $16 a quart the stuff costs.
