Just bought a 901 transaxle with a Quaiffe LSD in it. Any recommendations for oil type and quantity for it. Don't want to burn it up.

My Audi has a torson diff in the transmission, similar to having a Quaife. I run Redline products. I run a 4 to 1 ratio Redline MTL to Redline 90 in my transmission. 30 track days and 50,000 miles and I have no problem with my trans or the torson.
Redline has a MT-85 now, that is supposed to be good for transmissions with Quaife in them. It is similar to what I have been doing all along, with my mixing. In the 914 I ran the same thing. New trans will have a Quaife. Just make sure whatever you run, it is not GL-5. You need GL-4. GL-5 does not like the material that our older sycros are made of. Greg W. |

Where are you getting your information from? The factory manuals specify GL-5 |
