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??? |

I have been using Neo until a week or so ago. All I could find at the time to refill was Castrol Multitrax. It is the best stuff. It shifts 100% better and it doesn't affect the diff operation. I don't know how good the Swepco stuff is but the castrol cost about $30 for 5 litres as against about $60 for 1 litre of the Neo. The castrol has been in there for 2 days of competition.
