does anyone know if the stock Getrag takes ATF or MTF? my dad wants to change it in my car but I'm not sure which to use, bavauto says that a manual can use either one and I'm too lazy to go get my owners manual  from what I've found searching I think it takes ATF but it says that it's MTF on earlier cars, I'm not sure if 95 is old enough to use MTF  |  |  | | 05-21-2009, 01:45 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: New Orleans Posts: 970 |
we use redline mtf in all of our manuals, but it does result in a little more "sporty" feeling shifting, its not as smooth as using the atf sometimes __________________

well my dad made me go out and check my owners manual anyway, it calls for ATF so that's what we got, we did get the Redline stuff though | | | | | 05-21-2009, 05:28 AM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 |
It's ATF for the earlier cars and MTF for the later cars. You got the right stuff. There should also be a sticker/tag on the trans that says what to use. __________________ ~Dave~

I run redline MTL on my 95 getrag. The transmission is quieter than if I use the BMW spec fluid. | | | | | 05-21-2009, 06:43 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: NJ Posts: 1,625 |
