1980 930 euro trans,..LSD...fluid
what is the best fluid that you guys recommend for a 1980 930 euro trans with LSD,..
i have read alot of back and forth about synthetic,.. i have alot of royal purple 75/90w left from a trans swap in another car, its synthetic, not sure if this would work... is the swepco that everyone talks about synthetic? i am assuming in this also, the pull the fill plug first? just in case of anything bad...never the drain plug first! |

Pull the fill plug first to make sure it comes out. Good idea. As far as Swepco, it is a semi synthetic from what I have read on it. Certain tranny builders should chime in here to give their advice since it carries more weight than the other opinions on the net. I have been using the Swepco in my 79 turbo 4 speed with LSD and have not noticed any problems in 30k miles so far. Hope I am doing the right thing.

Hey Jim, I have an '83 euro and running the Kendall (non-synthetic, NS 75/90 or something) with some Lucas LSD additive per the recommendation of John Walker, car shifts like butter and like it a lot more than the Swepco I was running for what it's worth

I'm using Kendall LSD 80W90. I think about the only place to find it is thru Jegg's @$5/qt.

I have used Mobil 1 gear lube in every trans I have owned and rebuilt. Never had issues with leaking or grinding. Good stuff, easy to find and does not stain your floor green

I have been using Penzoil 80w90 non synthetic with the GM limited slip additive.
It has been working well for me.

Am I the only one left using SWEPCO? I have 210 in mine (I used to put 201 in my 911sc). It seems to work good but I haven't compared with KENDALL

I used some synthetic 75/90 from wall mart when i was out of town and needed to add some. I was impressed much better shifting than just the swepco. but mine isnt a lsd model.
