subynut Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Yup, dat's what I use. Are you changing the fluid? If so, then U need to add that LSD additive: Posi-trac or somthing to that name. Said it was for Posi and LSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexx Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 On my 81 Subaru, I didn't like that the transmission always seemed hard to shift for the first few minutes/miles that I drove. I assume this was because the 80/90 weight conventional gear oil doesn't work that well when it is cold. Several years ago I switched to Red Line synthetic oil, aka Shockproof Gear oil. It's rated at 75W to 250W! I noticed that shifting when the car was cold was definitely easier. The stuff is actually red in color. I didn't put it in the back axle, just in the front wheel drive transmission. The stuff is quite expensive, really expensive, I forget what it cost but I haven't replaced the stuff in several years and it still seems fine. At 190,000 miles I had the transmission rebuilt. Shortly thereafter is when I think I switched to the Red line synethic oil. My car now has 256,000 miles and I can actually burn rubber on my front wheel drive only subaru wagon.
