Yes I am and it makes the shifts smoother
Yes I am and it makes the shifts smoother
Its been in there a year and half.(actually more like more than three years looking back at my records) Put in at 43k when I got the car 65 k now.) Some have reported mixed results but it worked for me. I had notchiness between 2 and 3 and had do some double clutching sometimes. If you search for adds about rough shifting there will be quite a few threads coming up , or notchy shifting. Doing a search for redline D6 here brings up threads like this http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ght=redline+D6 Last edited by ctuna; 12-21-2014 at 09:08 PM.. |

Yes, shifts are great with it. Did it at 100,000km.

So basically always in moderate temps but have gone skiing with it and it seems good there to. Maybe less than a week or two every year where its 90 or more. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ght=redline+d6 Last edited by ctuna; 12-21-2014 at 10:32 PM.. |

Yes, shifts in cold weather are fine, but better after warmed up (of course).
Before the change, cold weather shifts were worse. |

I didn't use D6, but I did use D4. I'm happy with the performance overall. It feels like OE to me. I didn't feel any difference: exactly what I was hoping for. I'm just glad knowing I've got new fluid in there.

I'm using D4. Shifts are much smoother than before I changed the fluid (at 60k).
It got rid of a lot of the resistance I felt going into each gear.

I used D6 previously and didn't really notice much of a difference from stock.

I've been running D6 for about 5,000 miles and noticed an immediate improvement in shifts from stock (changed around 80k miles). It's a little notchy when it's cold, but particularly once it's warm, it shifts really smoothly. Seems to warm up from below freezing in about 3-5 minutes. At least on my car you can still feel the gates pretty distinctly, but the motion is more fluid than before.
