New trans oil - Will it stop the chatter?
 

So hearing how well RedLine Motor oil quiets our engine - will "upgrading" the stock transmission oil to something like Redline's trans oil help things out?

I was hoping that people who have some info could chime in here and give the 411 on if it may be a good idea to change the oil early for better performance and quieter operation.

Thanks

It is a better oil, and makes it shift a bit better hot and cold. It won't do anything for the noise.

It will not affect the noise whatsoever.

Personally, I suggest sticking with Nissan's oil, especially if you have the manual tranmission. Other oils, even Redline, may give you notchy shifts until the tranny warms up.

Interesting. I've herd that Red Line oil for our manuals is a big upgrade over the stock oil.
I guess everyone's experience is different.

That is the exact opposite of my experience. The redline has been superior in every way to the Nissan stuff. Cold weather shifting in particular is smoother and less notchy.

I'm still on the OEM fill, but in other vehicles i noticed the synthetic fluid being much smoother in cold weather.

And the chatter is completely normal. You should hear it with an upgraded clutch and lightweight flywheel. It's hilariously loud.
