Redline MTL blew up my diff, I know this because I was thinking about putting it in when I started out hard and had excessive wheel hop. I should call up Redline and ask then to pay me for my repair costs.

If the tranny fluid was what caused your problems the effected area would be dry, no fluid. I do not see how there could be a bearing in this tranny that is sealed enough to keep the fluid out. Can you post some pictures of the broken parts.

I think that I will have to agree with Tom and Demon on this. If you do not know the condition of the tranny before you put the fluid in - you can not say that it contributed to the failure. When I say know the condition I mean you actually took the tranny apart - inspected everything - then put it back together correctly. Otherwise it was just wear and tear that killed it. The fluid change was just a coincidence.

I just rebuilt my tranny w/ torsen and put MTL in it. If it blows up again and there is pastey residue on everything I will post pics and there might be a case. Otherwise I just did a bad job rebuilding it. Knock on wood.

Just my little joke and thoughts on the matter.
