Select Your Car Type to Ensure Proper Part Fitment

Here is an alternate solution to the factory MTF-LT-3 fluid for the Getrag GS5-52 BG 5-speed Manual Transmission used in Gen 1 Cooper (non-S) built from 07/2004 thru 2006. Yes, this is an automatic transmission fluid, but Redline specifies this ATF for both automatic and some manual transmissions.

For the following models equipped with the 5-speed Manual transmission:

2005-2006 R50 MINI Cooper Hatchback (non-S)

Note: Fluids cannot be shipped via air - they can be shipped by ground methods only.

Synthetic D6 ATF is a lower viscosity version of the D4ATF and is designed for better fuel efficiency in CAFE testing. Dexron VI requires a different approach to a conventional ATF formulation. Rather than beginning with a 7.5 cSt fluid and allowing a viscosity loss in use to drop to 5.5 cSt, the Dexron VI fluid requires a starting viscosity of less than 6.4 and a final drop to no less than 5.5 cSt. Red Line D6 will drop to no less than 6.1 cSt. Since the final viscosity after use of these fluids are similar, Dexron VI fluids can be used where Dexron III fluids were previously recommended (with the exception of some manual transmission applications, our customers report).

D6 ATF also provides significantly improved gear protection and will provide a GL-4 level of gear protection. The balanced frictional characteristics provide smooth and consistent shifts for extended drain intervals. The superior stability compared to petroleum ATFs allows high-temperature operation without varnishing valves and clutches which leads to transmission failure.
