Default Tranny Gear oil?
Need to put in some new gear oil in the tranny.


Where can I get some Redline Synthetic MTL, Swepco 201, or Mobil 1 75W/90?

Will my FLAPS have it?

Thanks,
-Alex

Not familiar with your area, but most high performance stores like Speed and Truck World or Murray's motorsports have it, otherwise try Amsoil.com to find a location near you...

I don't really ever get on the one fluid is better than the other bandwagon, but......

My 87 non lsd had a second gear syncro that was pretty notchy. I just replaced the fluid with the redline synthetic MTL and now that has completely gone away, shifts very smotthly. I have no idea what was in there before, but I am pretty happy with the redline.

Don't get me started on the 915 gear oil debate though....

Cheers

We could debate about this all day.

I think we can atleast both agree Royal Purple is crap.
