Transmission problems

We are getting ready to do the service on my daughter's e46 as well. My brother-in-law got his lift installed at the house and we are ready to put it to good use!

We are getting the parts from FCP and the kits they have come with Redline Fluid. Any thoughts on that?

Thanks, all!

I forgot to add the bridge seal in that parts list. Will add when back in front of the PC. I've done this 3 times now and reused the valve body bolts each time. They are very low torque. Just follow torque procedure/order.

I can't really comment on the redline fluid. Only had it in the e70 for a short period and never while it was actually on the road. It's a good fluid though so I'm sure it'll be fine. Funny most the FCP kits I see come with liqui moly or pentosin.
