The six-speed trannys have no filters. Think about it- they are sealed units that are not exposed to any outside contamination, so they don't need to filter anything. There's a magnetic pickup on the drain plug to pick up any metallic debris from normal wear, but that's quite small.

Has anyone added Redline lightweight shockproof oil to the MT-85?

I ask because I've heard it can smooth out notchy, grindy shifts in 350s and other Japanese sports cars. My shift into second is always notchy to the point of almost being a grind. In fact, when the transmission is cold it will grind going into 2nd if I don't shift super slow.

MT-85 has been in it for about 7k miles.
