manual trans fluid changed

jamesj1996 · 06-30-2014, 09:44 PM

hey guys finally got my mt fluid and diff fluid changed. car has 21k miles on it. i just used oem fluids. everyone was saying redline but along with the good there was the bad for that...i didnt wanna take the chance and plus it was 15 bucks a quart..cant afford that lol. anyways my shifts feel alot smoother and less jerky 1st to 2nd is alot smoother less clunky and overall it feels great. good thing i got it change bc my diff was filthy! make sure you guys get that checked out...manual says 3 years or 30k but i was at 21k and it was terrible.

Do you mean this one 11026-4N200 AKA the washer between the drain / fill plugs and the diff?

Or this stuff: 999MP-A7007P, the liquid sealant that is used on the diff cover?

yah the washer gasket. cool, it's the same one i used on my G's diff and tranny.

thanks.

Should have used amsoil or red line. When I changed my 350z back in the day with oem it was clunky after a couple days... amsoil was smoother by 100x for 20k miles

That's odd. I read oem is the way to go..at least for the G

AFAIK, as long as it is the proper weight and a GL4 oil, not GL5, you'll be fine.

redline mt-85 for the 6MT is the way to go. no more clunky shifts whether its cold or hot as hell on the track.

redline 75w90 for the diff
