I drained my VW 02J box today of what I assume to be the original factory fluid with 29,317 miles on it.
It came out a darkish golden amber color however this stuff stunk,smelled like rotten salad dressing
!
There was what looked like thin dark brown colored sludge like deposits on drain and filler plugs.They wiped off quite easliy but still
.I guess I should be happy I didn't see any meatal flakes in the fluid though
.
Went with 2qts of M1 75W90 which had a more pleasent smell,very unlike the dino gear oil i've used in the past which stunk.Smelled more like a M1 motor to be honest
.
I am impressed by the shifting action so far,much more fluid shifting is possible now
.Good stuff!
