I have had a number of 102s and 106s, but it has been about 8 years since I had one. I always used Dentax 80/90 for the trans in BOTH 102s and 106s. Never had a problem.

I just contacted the local Shell distributor (Albina Oil, Portland, Oregon) and they haven't stocked the Dentax 80/90 since 2001! They will NOT special order small quantities directly from Shell. There are, however, some distributors elsewhere in the country that might still have stock.

I then called Shell Corporate's tech dept, and they said their Morlina SD150, which is an industrial item, is virtually the same as Dentax 80/90. This item IS available from the local distributor in a minimum 5 gallon size.

It might be easier just to change to modern synchros.


I didn't ask about the availability of Spirax 90EP (for the diff) which is what I always used. I don't know if there is an available equivalent...
