Swepco 210: I drained the Swepco 210 from transaxle/transmission of 944 na after 4 years and the color was just as it came out of the container. A little bit of fine metal filings on the first cup and clear of metal filings for the remainder of the drain

Hopefully my R & P doesn't look like Matt R's. Will find out tomorrow morning what is causing the toc-toc-toc during accel.

Matt M, thanks for taking the time to talk to me this am.

So, back on topic, 996 cup box, Red Line or Delvac?

Delvac. Redline is too slippery for a racebox with synchros.

Thanks Matt, Delvac it will be.

Here's what we found.

Ouch. Been there, done that. Have the t-shirt and bad parts to prove it!

Yikes...that stock Ring and pinion or 4.0 : 1 ?

FWIW, like Matt R I recently switched to the Millers oil in my car. While I don't have nearly as much time on it as he does I'm satisfied so far. The only real determination will be as I get more time on it and go through a couple of gear oil changes. I didn't really have any issues with Delvac other than it being a little stiff and notchy on cold days until there was heat in the tranny.

4.0:1. I think that I've found a 3:89 take-off from an RS. Fingers crossed.

Been running Red Line to date, and box was also notchy when cold.

The hard thing is to get everything back together fast enough to not miss any planned events... right in the middle of the season, when race shops are busy racing.

Should be good for the 48-Hours, and fingers crossed for next weekend @ Mosport.
