the applications are:
73 914
74 ghia type 1
1991 jeep (ax-15 trans)

all are brass syncro and the current edition manuals now say use gl-5 but i didnt think gl-5 was around when they were designed. some dealer technitions and some tranny shops use the "old style" gl-3 or 4 stuff yet most just put in the newest synthetic formula. maybe all gl-5's are not corrosive in nature to brass, explaining why swepco is okay and mobil 1 not. shiftwise, by the way, the only oil i have felt a noticable change with was the coastal crap we sell at work that i put in a long time ago. dont even use it on your new vehicles. turned thin and poor shift (yes, same weight, temp, trans and diffs!, etc) soo... back to square one or more info? i have heard mentionings about posi-trac/limited slip additive for manual trans like the above poster states. any more info?
