So in my other thread I'm trying to tighten up my tailshifter slop and have drained the tranny to check the roll pin on the shift shaft.
I'm gonna have to fill it back up but want to know what's best to use in the tranny. I would like to also know if any addatives are recommented to help out with seals/ syncros/ you know friction modifier that kind of thing. Thanks in Advance! |

Whatever you use, and I have used 80-90-140 for years, be sure you get straight GL 5! GL4, or anything that says on the label that it's compatible with anything else but GL 5, is gonna do bad things to your tranny. You also don't want any friction modifiers, because your synchros depend on synchros!
I've been repairing Porsche trannies for 35 years, and I've seen what the wrong gear oil can do. The Cap'n |
