Redline Shockproof - 80w140

[R34ZOR]

Hey guys, im having a real deliema, i just bought some of this Redline shockproof 80w140 the red stuff. Now i have chucked it in the diff and gearbox.

The problem im having is that it still feels like my gearbox is really tight. As in getting the gears in. Sometimes they feel like they are crunching to get in.

What do you recommend for gearbox??? or should i stick with this stuff?

Also I can really smell this stuff its really strong inside the car. is that normal??

Also its for my 34gtt. and i also have a short shifter.

Cheers.

sorry found right section;

hey mate, yeah i had the same problem. my gears were almost clunking/crunching when changing. i drained it out, then used valvoline duragear oil. works a treat!

i had the same issue and changed my oil..

watever oil u use. just make sure its not to thin.

and it will take abit of driving before you can feel the difference.

Maybe because you used the red one?

Most people use the Lightweight Shockproof, which is the blue liquid

80w140? This is similar to the Redline shockproof, is that what your using? Most people use lightweight shockproof.

I've seen MT-90 recommended although I'm going to try MTL first...

have you looked at the option of your short shifter ?

damn straight the short shifter will be making it worse.

but gearbox takes smurf blood. the human blood is for diffs not gearbox

although tecnically they are both gear oils...I would not be putting the red one esp. at the visc in the GB.

just oils with the appropiate friction modifiers. I use MT-90 redline...I found it better than shockproof as it too is really a gear oil.

so wat ur saying is go with lightweight for g box and heavy for diff
