funny that you mention redline. i changed the fluid in both tranny and diff. as for the pedal, this is my first tt, so comparing the feel to my na is not fair only because of the vacumme system. but i think this is where my problem is. it feels stiff as hell but when i start it, it feels better. i guess w/ the vac assist. second, ALL of my gears go in all the way with the exception of fifth. i can just feel that it didn't go all the way in.
