Hi all, sorry to drag this topic up again but I searched the forums and couldn't really get a straight answer. My oil question is a little more specific, though.
I'm rebuilding my trans and replaced the syncros. The dog teeth on my second gear were slightly worn, but not so worn that I was going to spend $$$ on a new gear. I've kind of been freaking out about what oil to put in, because since I've got it all apart and cleaned out I'd like to put in the right stuff.
I'd like to use synthetic oil, since I live in a northern climate and my gearbox would get very sluggish in the winter with regular oil. I've heard good things about Redline 75w90, but I'm wondering if I should maybe use the heavier 75w140 to help with second gear shifting. Any input on this? Thanks!
