So in my other thread I'm trying to tighten up my tailshifter slop and have drained the tranny to check the roll pin on the shift shaft.
I'm gonna have to fill it back up but want to know what's best to use in the tranny. I would like to also know if any addatives are recommented to help out with seals/ syncros/ you know friction modifier that kind of thing. Thanks in Advance! |

No, GL-5 does not designate limited slip use. Many high quality gear oil manufacturers make two versions of GL-5 (and GL-4 for that matter), one for non limited slip and one for limited slip. The difference is that one has friction modifiers added. See Capn Crusty's explanation - GL-5 is a higher pressure rating. That's pressure between gear mating surfaces. GL-5 should give your gearbox greater protection as long as its friction qualities allow proper synchro engagement.
