Hi,
sometimes, after draining and filling (with the correct oil) a filled for life manual transmission, shifting problems arise or get worse, right from just after the oil change, and will not get better even after hundred kilometers. In my groups of car enthusiasts and techs, we all put a dose of CV joint grease into the gearbox if this happens. after a few kilometers of driving, problems that appeared just after the oil change will disappear almost instantly and shifting would be really smooth.
I'm questionning exactly the science behind this. Usually the grease packs are labeled lithium/moly. Anyone has experiences or theories about this? Let's discuss ^^
