Transmission fluid?

Can someone definitely tell me which brand and grade transmission oil would work in our manual JCWs?

I've heard that redline offers one, but it's only for automatics, and then I had read that we should go to Toyota and buy their Type IV transmission fluid, but that was just 1 guy talking, so if anyone could help me out, that'd be great!

Thanks!

Redline offers their MTL for your trans and I would say almost everyone uses it.

This is wrong too then as you state 1.8 in all coopers. Are JCW's and S's not coopers? You meant in Justa's. LOL

I have a 2010 JCW I want to change my 'lifetime' trans fluid on.

Was the flush easy enough to do?
