My VW's 5spd is one picky tranny
,but now I think it has found something it reaaly likes
.
Stuff i've tried:
Stock stuff:
Pretty good but a tad notchy on the 1-2 shift..Fluid might of been shoot since it smelled like a dead beaver when it came out at 30K miles.
M1 75W-90:
Not bad,better than the stock fluid that had 30K on it.It felt a little "thick" in the box though.
50/50 mix of M1 75W-90 and M1 ATF:
Trying to thin out the 75W-90 only got me slightly more notchy action.Too thin
.
Specialty Formulations MTL-R:
By far the best outta the bunch
!
The 1-2 shift action is waay better.The prior notchy feeling has improved to the point where it's almost gone
,quite a feat in a VW box.By far,the superior product in this VW tranny.Thanks Mola
