So I have had my car about 6 months now. It has 105k on the clock. No record of when the last time the transmission oil was changed. First and second gear syncros are toast, but if I am real careful I can get it to slip in without grinding. Got to put it in first just before you come to a stop. I just changed the oil (Brad Penn) and thought it would be a good time to try some SWEPCO 201 in the transmission. The oil that drained out looked pretty good. Still had an amber color to it but a little on the low side. So now with the SWEPCO 3rd has a real notchy feel to it. second will zip on the teeth as I come down from third with my usual methods. First is even more finicky than before. Outside Temp is 35-45 degree range right now. Will this get better over time? Seems like I went backwards.

There's a similar discussion on RennList 997 site. The consensus was that a change to Swepco in those cars made a noticeable improvement. I changed to Swepco and I agree. But that's a 2007 tranny opposed to 1970.

I miss John (Cap'n Krusty). I miss JP. I'm surprised Ron (Slits) didn't post in this thread. I miss him too.

I use the cheap stuff in my 914/901 transaxle. |

I miss John (Cap'n Krusty). I miss JP. I'm surprised Ron (Slits) didn't post in this thread. I miss him too. Let us know how that works out, Mike. I'll probably change the transxale fluid in the Cayman when I do the next oil change - just because I wasn't privy to the PO's maintenance records (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) There's a similar discussion on RennList 997 site.
