seems like the preffered gear oil of 914club is swepco 901. i have a few quarts of 75/90 redline gear oil left over from when i had my 240z. any thoughts on this stuff in the porsche tranny?
in the past: redline + hard to shift tranny = nice smooth tranny ...well at least for a while. i've used redline before to cover up some tranny problems i just didn't feel like fixing. but these were junkyard 240z and rx7 trans. not my nice 914 tranny. opinions??? recommended gear oil weights??? |

Redline is a great product, but it doesn't allow the synchros in a 914 trans to grab and slow down the gear stack as well as conventional lube. I put a new first gear synchro in a trans followed by redline, and while first gear felt fine, second gear now had some clash that was never present before that could only be attributed to the redline. Once the dead dino oil was put back in, all was fine again.
PS I did use the Redline without slippery additive 75/90NS, so that wasn't the problem. |
