RE44 Pro-Shift PAO Manual Transmission ATF

RE44 is KCK’s all-new answer to a very specific, very real problem: modern and aftermarket manual transmissions that require an ATF — but can’t perform at their peak on generic Dex clones. This is a 100% synthetic PAO + ester-based ATF, hot blended in Australia, and engineered from the ground up to deliver smoother shifts, higher stability, and longer fluid life in hard-driven gearboxes and transfer cases.

WHY RE44 CHANGES THE GAME

• Tailored for Manual Gearboxes That Specify ATF – Including high-performance, motorsport, and 4WD applications

• Crisper, Quieter Shifting – Improved friction stability for synchro and dog engagement

• Resists Shear, Heat & Abuse – Built for temperature stability under long race, drift, off-road or towing conditions

• Reduces Wear and Extends Life – Superior anti-wear chemistry protects gears, bearings, and synchronizers

• Hot Blended in Australia – Fully integrated additive package with no cold mix shortcutting

• Wide Compatibility – Safe for a wide range of modern and legacy ATF specs
