Hi,
I know this is a common question but for whatever reason the Search returns "no matches" when I look for MoS2 or Moly in this section.
Well I know that most of you are against the use of MoS2 in a synchronized manual transmission since synchros need friction to work efficiently. Now many people who tried a MoS2 additive (made by Liqui Moly) in their georbox report good results so that I may want to try this additive.
My main purpose is to protect my gearbox in the long run, not really to have lightning fast shifting abilities. So I'm asking if adding a MoS2 additive (sounds to be a plain MoS2 paste like additive) may cause any harm to the transmission or differential (FWD) unit. Also as I'm using a GL5 gearoil, is it possible to have a bad reaction between the gearoil+EP additive and the MoS2????
My view is that I should try the additive. If the shifting is bad as most people here would predict, I can drain the tranny and refill with fresh fluid (with an AutoRX cleaning in between for example). But I first want to make sure that it's not dangerous for the transmission to run a MoS2 additive. Does MoS2 turn corrosive in a transmission???
Would be glad to know your opinion about this (the Moly section on BITOG is quite encouraging no??).
PS: the additive I'm looking at is "Liqui Moly MoS2 anti friction for Gears". In case you have a better choice let me know too.
Thanks
