I have a '74 914 and the transmission is a little leaky and need to change the fluid, the book says to use straight 90w oil but I am having a really tough time finding it so I was wondering if there was a newer substitute that I could use. This is my first 914 and I am struggling a little bit and could use some help thanks

Funny thing to, Redline MT90 is fairly new. It's not been around for twenty years. I have tried MTL, MT90 and Valvoline 80/90 all in the 914. It works the best with 80/90 Valvoline, less syncro grinding. My Toyota truck that I put a brand new transmission in shifted WAY better with the MTL. I think it really depends on the transmission.
Now, can we just get along please. No more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) cause it's just not fun. |
