RE: Redline now in Manual Trans in Coupe GT

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

Just had my mechanic put in Redline MTL (GL-4, 75/80) into mine
yesterday. I thought there was a reason for not using GL-5 - am I
remembering wrong?

In any case, the difference is great. Much smoother shifting and the
usual minor balks are almost gone.
