[s-cars] poll for best gear oil

[Peter Schulz]

Mike:

Depends on where you live.

I live in New England, and the two cars that I have had with Redline 
transmission fluids had balky shifting when it's below 40F, at least 
until the engine/transmission warmed up.

Need to be careful about the 1-2 nd shift ...CLUNK

Above 40F, no issues what so ever....transmission cold or hot.

Granted, this is a current issue on our 240kmile S6...I do plan on 
changing the transmission oil before winter to see if it helps...
