Subject:GL-5 tranny lube
From:Michael Townsend

Hi all,

I could not seem to find any Red Line GL-4 synthetic manual transmission
lube.  Therefore, I used Slick 50 synthetic, which is a GL-5.  I would never
use a Slick 50 product in an engine, but I thought it would be OK in a
transmission.  Now, after the fact, I am starting to wonder if using GL-5
might be detrimental in an 091 transmission designed for GL-4.  Is this a
big deal?

Thanks,
Michael Townsend
