<E30>Getrag 260 transmission oil - I'm stupid

[Michiel van Wessem <jmvw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm figuring out that my 5 speed Getrag 260 transmission wants automatic
transmission fluid. 

Some of you may remember that I replaced the oil in my transmission with
Redline MTL this winter (and made a big mess). Well, I was just under my
car discovering that the wires to my backup light switch were gnawed by the
flex disc when I noticed the big red label on the transmission. It said
something like AT..ol. 

I just looked up the information that Red Line had sent me about labels and
indeed: red label means use Red Line D4ATF. 

Now I understand why the Mobile Traditions CD lists a sticker that says
something like "ATF only". :)

I guess I'll be changing the oil some time soon.

So all of you with Getrag 260 transmissions, put ATF in it.
