RE44 Has Landed: Finally, a Real ATF for Manual Gearboxes

There’s a growing list of manual gearboxes that spec ATF.
TREMEC. Hollinger. G-Force. Liberty. Lenco. Even transfer cases in heavy-duty 4WDs.

But let’s be honest — most off-the-shelf ATFs?
They’re built for slushboxes. Not manual ‘boxes being slammed at 7,000rpm or crawling up a heat-soaked fire trail.

That’s why we built RE44.

This is not some off-brand Dex III clone with a fresh label.
This is a PAO + Ester synthetic, hot blended, zero-compromise transmission fluid — designed specifically for manual gearboxes and transfer cases that spec ATF.

And it hits different.

Why We Made It

We kept seeing the same pattern in the field:

• Performance builds chewing through ATF like beer at a burnout comp

• 4WDs with tired, noisy transfer cases begging for a better fluid

• Race and drift cars suffering from shift fade mid-session

• Workshops searching for a serious option that isn't just "Dex and hope"

So we built the thing we wanted to use.

We took everything we’ve learned from race oils, applied our hot blend process, and created a fluid that does more than just fill a spec — it transforms how the box feels.

What Makes RE44 Different

Every drop of RE44 is built for abuse. Here’s the tech that makes it worth every cent:

✅ Full Synthetic PAO + Ester Base

No recycled Group II base. Just pure performance from the ground up.
Stable under heat, chemically clean, and friction-tuned for precise engagement.

✅ Hot Blended at Elevated Temps

We integrate additives at high temperatures during blending, not cold mix shortcuts.
The result? Stronger bonding, zero additive dropout, and extreme heat stability.

✅ Friction Modified for Manuals

We didn’t just meet ATF spec — we tuned it for manual use.
Expect sharper engagement, cleaner synchro performance, and less “slush.”

✅ Shear-Free Under Load

It holds its viscosity under punishment — hard shifts, towing, climbing, even power-shifting at redline.

✅ Corrosion & Synchro Protection

Built-in anti-wear and anti-corrosion agents protect soft metals and synchros, especially in older or heavily built gearboxes.

Where It Works Best

RE44 was made for any manual box or transfer case that specs ATF — and then some.
