New Trans...Lube Recommendations
I wasted my 3rd gear on the track last month in my 86 Turbo. I've been waiting for that. It had the non LSD with cooler (016R 5P). I always promised myself when it went that it was going to be replaced by a Turbo S (016R AOR) tranny.
Guess what I got? Found one from an 88 Turbo S street car with 81K miles that had the infamous fuel rail fire. I am cleaning it up and am going to change the gear lube while it's out of the car. Questions: I'm thinking of cracking it to check it out. What would you do? I have always used Red Line but am hearing that Mobil 1 gear lube is better. Thoughts? -g

I've always used Mobil 1 and haven't had any problems. Can't speak for RedLine. Honestly I don't think there's much difference possible.

Going with Mobil 1 in the 951 this weekend. Just put Swepco in the n/a but haven't driven it yet. I'll give a report on both.
