E36 Manual Tranny Fluid: Stock, Dexron, or Redline?

[MikeB325i]

Hi,

I'm about to go to the shop to get my manual transmission flushed. Question: What kind of transmission fluid should I put into my tranny (1993 325I Manual Trans.). Stock? Redline? Dexron? It's cooooooooooold up here in NY, so I need to take that into account. Any quick advice would be very appreciated. Thanks and Happy Holidays!

use redline mt-l, redline D4 or Mobil1 syn. ATF fluid.

Nevermind.

On my way to the shop, my transmission just shit the bed. I had to drive it half way there in reverse. So much for my BMW.
