I have had some seat time now after flushing the transmission fluid. Last night is was able to really hammer on the transmission and see how it is behaving.
Couple different scenarios
Full out accelerations
While this was already basically flawless, there was almost a slight delay between the 2-3 shift, however minute, I perceived it to be there. This is now gone.
Multiple downshifts:
Down shift while on the throttle, downshifting while under braking, and downshifting while off the throttle and brakes. Car seems a lot smoother in its transitions and sharper in its engagements. I can honestly say the car is shifting and doing what I request of it better than it ever has. This is with 58000 miles on the car.
Low speed daily driving:
For the 1-2 shift either manually or in auto/comfort/sport it is noticeably smoother. Abruptness which existed to some extent before, is virtually eliminated.
Overall assessment:
I changed my ATF fluid about 10,000 miles before it was recommended. I can honestly say I have a noticeable improvment in the behjavor of the transmission since changing the fluid. Whether this is because I used redline fluid, or simply because I flushed the fluid, hard to say. I can say that the redline fluid is working great, and I would recommend the product so far to anyone looking to save on the rather high cost of OEM fluid.
