I think I'm gonna go with the lucas...JWMotorsports wrote:400+WHP for way over 10,000miles on a open diff 5-spd Pro LX tanny.
I use Lucas 80w-90 Gear Oil with one bottle of Lucas Transfix...thats what has held it together. The trans in the car now has a Mazdaspeed LSD with the same Lucas lubes. And yes I've pounded the CRAP out the gears...current setup it makine 500+HP @ 26psi on pump gas.
I've used Redline MT-90, Redline 75w-90, Redline Shock Proof w/ MT-90, Valvoline Durablend 75w-90, Costal 75w-90, Mobil 1 75w-90, ATF...blahh, blahh, blahh. I've broken trannies on all the above EXCEPT with the Lucas mix.
It's your tanny...use what you want
