(www.off-road-schoener.de). I am dealing only with Land Rovers. My question is what can I do to improve gearchange on a used DiscoII with 93000km on the clock. Shifting from and to third is sometimes hard, if not impossible. On the other hand it works fine for a lot of gear changes, then suddenly the next change from 4th to 3rd is hard. I think the synchromesh started to make problems. Any Ideas what gearbox oil could help? Should I use the recomended MTF94 or is there something better to help gearchanging??   Phillip Perkinson (Rover4x4) Member Username: Rover4x4 Post Number: 130 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 10:31 am:    /www.discoweb.org/discus/messages/2/22255.html?1050057058   Norm Orschnorschki (Norm) New Member Username: Norm Post Number: 28 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Friday, April 11, 2003 - 09:12 pm:    Redline MTL (manual transmission lubricant).   Harald Sch�ner (Harry01) New Member Username: Harry01 Post Number: 2 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Monday, April 14, 2003 - 12:49 am:    Thanks norm. I never heard of redline MTL. What brand is it?   Eric Brodis (Broder) New Member Username: Broder Post Number: 4 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Monday, April 14, 2003 - 07:34 am:    http://www.redlineoil.com/   Paul Kleinkramer (Slipinkramer) New Member Username: Slipinkramer Post Number: 16 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Monday, April 14, 2003 - 11:52 am:    Hmmmm, Red Line MTL will improve the longevity of the synchros but, if anything, will make it shift harder than with ATF. It will be especially hardshifting when cold. Is there ATF in the R380 now? That will make it shift easy. Otherwise... maybe it is broken?
