Best transmission oil
Posted: March 7th, 2007, 6:36 pm
So the MX3 I bought has ~208k km on it, and as far as I can tell it's the original clutch. It's got about 10,000 more km left on it, I'd say.
I plan to swap in the KLZE in the summer, but in the meantime, the transmission feels a little rough. I'd like to flush and fill it with new oil.
Is there a consensus on what the best oil is? I used 80/90 synthetic gear oil on my escort and it was very smooth, even in the winter. Most people recommend the merk/dexron 3 ATF fluid though.
Experiences? I don't have the chilton's manual yet.
