'Course VW also says you don't need to change the tranny oil. ;)

I changed mine for Redline MT-90.  Can't say it made a big difference,
though 1st-2nd grinds are less common now than they were before.  This is
probably just because the old stuff had gotten awfully thin and seemed to
have a fair amount of water mixed in with it, though.  It sure reeked to
high heaven.  Haven't had any truely cold weather since I did the change
so I can't remark on the Redline's cold weather performance, but as far as
I can tell every gear old is lousy in cold weather.  Even my Honda grinds
into 2nd gear when it gets below 20 degrees F out.
