Now that where talking about Tranny Oil I got an issue with mine i got some MT-90 and wow great stuff all around it's so smooth! the only thing is that I get a slight grinding sound when I rev hard really hard and shift to 3RD gear I have a NST SSK and TWM short shifter can I be shifting to fast for synchros?

could be the combo

. No issue here , no upgrades tho .

I have gotten the same slight grinding going into 3rd when shifting fast. I have both NST SSK's, and have only experianced it at the track. Calming down a little bit has cured the problem

without a significant increase in shift times.

Could be cuase if I shift it slow on a high rev it won't grind. Got to work on the calming down thing

bummer , was hoping to see how the PENNZOIL synthetic GL-4 would do for your tranny

. Let you and your car be the lab rat

. Just kidding , sure it would've performed well . Let us know how the AMSOIL MTG works for you . THANKS

Didn't actually expect there to be such a big difference in the LubroMoly full synthetic GL-5 75W-90 and AMSOIL's GL-4 75W-90, but the shifts now are effortless and smooth as silk.

that's good

. Shift from the GL 5 > 4 is a smooth transition for your transmission .

. Enjoy

I can't rave enough about the MT-90. I love shifting through the gears now.

gid · 01-26-2009, 03:38 PM

cold shifting is much easier in these temps .

. Let the good times roll

.

Reverse will get a good test tomorrow morning. The longer the GL-5 stayed in the transaxle the notchier the shifts were getting and finding reverse on the first try was starting to become a joke.

gid · 01-27-2009, 12:16 AM

yup , downshifting with GL-5 was a joke , would grind like crazy

. Work through all gears as much as possible and drive around in reverse in empty parking lot or back street / road ( people may think you're nuts

) . I leave car in reverse when parked . ENJOY

MT-90 is a beautiful thing.
