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.

Your data is far from generalizable. I don't care what you do, but your scenario is not analogous to the majority of people you are trying to recommend swepco to.

AH....now I see... the big frog discounts any experience except his own. My 14 years of using the same trans on & off the street is worthless in your opinion. This is not about trans lube at all, but about egos. I yield to your self importance. |

Do you deny that your use is far from the usual? |

I use Swepco in all of my 911/914 tranys. That is, up until my 73 914. It had sat for 5 years and the trany leaked. I was not about to put the expensive swepco in it while I got it back into running condition. I just put in the cheap stuff I use on my truck.
Well, I got the 73 to run and I noticed that it shifts great. Very smooth and nice. I have driven it almost a year now and I can honestly say I am impressed with the cheap dino fliud. Whoda thunk it.. Oh wait you guys! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Now if I can only get the engine to run smooth. |
