I have a customer race car that needed to be resealed at the intermediate plate.
Now that it's back together I'd like to top off the fluid level. The gear oil in the box is red and doesn't have a strong gear oil smell. I asked the customer if it's from Redline or Lubrication Engineers. The response he got from from his previous shop is - Swepco with a little ATF. I think I've heard of that mixture before but not sure of the application. The gearbox has a Guard TB diff. Is that a recommended additive for the Guard diff? Is anyone else adding ATF to their 914 gearbox? |

I have a friend that uses STP in his 915. He swears by it. He probably does close to 20 DE/TT a year. Engine is a stout 3.2 making 270hp. Trans has no limited slip. I can't remember what gear oil he is using.
