Re: What is the best Manual transmission fluid

gear oil should be API GL-4 ONLY, any mention of GL-5 (which is what most gear lubes are) will spell out an early death to your synchronisers. he EP additives make the shifting notchy, and eat soft metals.(yellow metals)

FAYI: Higher octane gas does nothing different than normal octane gas in an engine that does not require it. Octane is a measure of how much pressure the fuel can withstand before it ignites (all fuel will ignite on its own under a certain pressure) If your engine has HIGH comression, then it may ...

yeah dont get high wattage bulbs either. They tend to melt the wires behond the headlighs. XENON is just a term for a standard halogen bulb with a coloured film on it usually. Good bulbs are PIAA if you want to spend the money. Silverstars are good, and there are a few other ones around. Stay away ...

well most of your problems are pretty minor. The e-brake sounds like a broken cable or something else. The valve cover leak is pretty much standard issue on a japaneese engine of that age. Its not a huge deal, just keep an eye on your oil level.
