Hi all,
I know there are other threads asking about trans oil but I am wondering if there is other input to be had.
I have an '86 951 transmission with cooler loop, open diff, that is getting tired in the synchro department.
It's been a few years since I changed the oil in it and IIRC it is Lucas 85W90 or something like that.
I bought the trans with ~100k miles on it and I'd say I've added another ~40k to it. Is there a particular brand/weight/type of gear oil that would help the synchros out and keep things smooth at this age?
67King, I know you have some offerings, care to make a recommendation?
