Slushbox being used in the manner I've seen it in many an automobile
magazine to mean an automatic transmission.

Please, does anyone out there know the answer to my original question:

I recall reading that Dodge said to use only their transmission fluid. Does
that apply only to automatic transmissions or does it apply to manuals also?
If the latter, what problems might arise from the use of the Redline MTF?

Thanks.
