And the difference is night and day no more grit nice and buttery smooth just the way it should be.

since the amsoil equivalent probably trashed my trans, i want to know how it holds up:p then again, so far it appears to be just the bearing (still cant get the tech info to properly check and rebuild AARRGG!!) so maybe i just had some bad luck? incredibly terribly bad luck?

I've had the redline MT90 in my trans in my 04 gsi for apx 2 years. No problems what-soever. I do have the squeak from the slave cylinder though, I figure I can fix it when I do the free slave cylinder mod in spring.

That's an easy one to identify too. Because the hydraulic clutch is designed to be self adjusting, if you hear that noise at idle, simply retracting the slave cylinder by hand will make the noise stop. If it does, a small dab of high temp grease on the tip of the slave pushrod will take care of it.

LOL I know, just haven't seen many pics or anything of the process. Sure the manual has it, but a lot of good that always does. Personal experience > shop manual.

i would say the only 'trick' is during filling. i find the easiest backyard method is to keep the car on level ground, and get some 3/8" tubing (or maybe it was 1/2". been a while) and stuff that in the fill port. use a funnel on the other end and pour oil in until it starts to dribble out. takes time to pour it in, but if you have no special filling tools/funnels this is an easy way.
