Gear Oil

It's about time to change the oil in my transmission, any suggestions what weight to get or what brand to buy?

Just use the standard weight in the owner's manual...and you can't go wrong with either Redline, or synchromesh (it's what's in my car right now...)

I second that redline MT fluid. It's what I'll be using myself here soon. As well as their motor oil.

Has anyone used the royal purple tranny fluid?

 

[zoomin MP3]

I think I saw one or two people. Redline has been proven to be superior. Also I've heard comments of extended use of Royal Purple in the engine has a tendency to block/restrict oil passages if not changed regularly. So if it does that in the engine, it could also thicken up or something in the tranny. Dunno. I've personally spoken to many people that refuse to use anything royal purple though.
