I bought some RedLine Synthetic gear oil a while ago and was toying around with the idea of putting it in my transaxle. A little hesitant (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Any Pros or Cons? |

I tried it a long time ago. Don't do it. It's too slippery for our 1950's design synchros. Swepco 201 works great. Cheap shit seems to work OK too, but I feel better about spending more on Swepco than I do about putting Walmart's cheapest in my very expensive transmission.
