I put top of the line synthetic in my tranny way back when I first got my 914(when I knew nothing about these cars). Stuff came out in less than a week and put in swepco... ever looked back. If I changed my tranny oil the same duration as motor oil, I could understand going cheap. However, 30,40,50 thousand miles before you would need to change it out? Relatively, $60 is not that expensive. I recall Porsche having problems with 935 trannys blowing up under the 24hour mark, and teams trying anything they could to get them to last. Once they switched to swepco, most of the problems went away. not sure how true that story is, i'll ask my friend who was a 935 crew chief at LeMans in the 70's, he might remember.
