[jgurnari]

been reading about 2 different torque limits.
2 trans for my car? this is something I never heard of but now i’m confused.
915 trans 18ng
G50 trans 22ng

how would i know which trans? 915 or g50?

guessing 915 is older models

recommend trans fluid for an ‘85?

thanks

915 Reverse is down and to the right

G50 Reverse is up and to the left

G50's didn't come out until 87, but it could have been swapped.

mine is down to the far right. 915 is guess, never knew that’s how to figure out which trans! thank you.
any recommendation on trans fluid?

I just tighten until snug. There is no real pressure inside the transmission box. You just don’t want it to leak. If I see a leak, another 1/8 turn.

The 915 has the Porsche Synchronizers and it likes a DINO GL-5 Transmission Oil. I use SWEPCO 201. Others like the dino Kendall product.

Engine builder Mike Bruns @mbruns rebuilt my 915 last year and told me to use SWEPCO 201. He should know.

I always use anti seize on both drain and fill plugs
