One would think - 3rd is noisy, overall I'd say it is quieter, besides whatever is worn with 3rd gear. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/38010-trans-and-diff-gear-oil/?page=4#findComment-658736 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdude1967 Posted February 12, 2024 Share #38 Posted February 12, 2024 Has anyone used this brand...Driven Racing Oil 04530 Gl-4 80w-90 Gear Oil. if so good results or not. And would I better off going with the Redline synthetic. This is conventional oil -Driven Racing Oil 04530 Gl-4 80w-90 Gear Oil. I was using this to top off the tranny, I was going to drain it and do a change. Thoughts do I go with redline or continue with the Driven brand conventional. Would the synthetic be better?

Other than drain the trans well? No, but don't expect a big change in feel, some people find that synthetic makes the synchros feel a little notchy. Just be sure it is GL4.

Zed Head Posted February 12, 2024 Share #42 Posted February 12, 2024 I'd go with Pennzoil Synchromesh or Redline MT-90. They're both better than typical manual transmission fluid. Redline has been proven in many situations, solving grinding problems. Search on the forum and you'll find stories. If you use Driven you might be the first. https://drivenracingoil.com/i-30497794-go-80w-90-conventional-gl-4-gear-oil.html https://www.redlineoil.com/mt-90-75w90-gl-4-gear-oil https://www.pennzoil.com/en_us/products/other-oils-fluids-fuel/manual-transmission-fluids-axle-oils/synchromesh-manual-transmission-fluid.html 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/38010-trans-and-diff-gear-oil/?page=4#findComment-661999 Share on other sites More sharing options...
