Tranny Fluid recommendations
I have an Exedy Twin Plate and an OS Giken LSD. I was thinking of getting Motul, but not sure. I also see that they have differential fluid. Anyone have any experience with it?
I had royal purp 75w90 gear oil. But it just couldnt save my tranny from the abuse my girlfriend (manual noob) put on it. Blew a second gear syncro had had the tranny warrantied. I dunno whos fault it was but im reluctant to switch from the stock fluid now and my girlfriend has been permanently banned from driving my car forever.
I just did a manual swap and motor build - after searching here - I decided to go with Eneos - hopefully will be driving the car this weekend and will be able to give my review! However - i must note - ive never driven a stock 5 spd tc - so going from my 5 spd s10 with 180,000 miles on it, itll probably feel so much better I wont know what to say lol
Eneos is a GL-5 rated gear oil correct? Which has several additives that are designed for a LSD, which I've also heard are alot more corrosive than a GL-4 rated gear oil. Some one correct me if im wrong on that, just information that ive read online. I'm personaly running Amsoil GL-4 rated stuff for around 10,000 miles now and my transmission is as smooth as butter.
^ funny u say that, that's the same reason I decided to go for the Amsoil Gl-4 75W-90 instead of GL-5. GOD it is good, soo smooth at all temps and no missing gears (quick shifting) anymore. Also kinda cool to change into 1st gear or reverse while the car is still moving and there's no grinding it's kinda impressive.
Not sure if the GL-5 is that bad anyways, when I installed my Quife LSD the only yellow material were the syncros. But the peace of mind that it won't eat them some is good enough for me.
G/L with decision.
