QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ May 10 2003, 09:13 AM) I cant confirm this (but I have been trying for years) Porsche designed the entire synchro mesh system around the old style gear lube. I'm sure they did. When the 914 era boxes were designed, synthetic's were still years away. I've run the 75-90 synthetic. There was noticably more gear noise and every gear would almost grind, esp. when hot. Went right back to the thick, sticky, smelly 90W dino stuff. scottb!!! you should have said something when your car was in the air this morning. I could have fixed ya up!
