Default Swepco Transmition oil

Before I change my gear box oil to Swepco 201 can I ask if anyone has any problems using this product in a S2
Cheers

Recently changed my gearbox oil for the swepco 201 and haven't had a problem with my 951.

I've noticed a marked improvement in shifting 1st to 2nd first thing in a morning and general feel when the car has warmed up.

Thanks Vic This confirms other information I have. My gear box has a slight rumble when in neutral and oil hot. The Swepco should do the trick.
Cheers

You can use the 210 stuff too - the guy at my shop (who I trust implicitly) recommended it highly. I have a slightly noisy box - I think mostly because my PO put on a Fidanza flywheel which is very lightweight...so when I'm decelerating in low gears I get some pretty decent gear whine back there. The 210 seemed to quiet it down a little more than anything else I had put in (Amsoil Severe Gear and 201).

Thanks Choinga I have decided to give the Swepco 201 a go. Will let you know if it does the job.

that will be the old 5th gear idler problem

and the fix I believe is different oil, which masks the issue
