Manual Trans Oil Cooler

justin_boy · 02-24-2021, 04:25 PM

okay guys, changed the diff fluid and it was boiled. Now my question is, after the first day i noticed the smell, i did another 8 sessions the week after. did i possibly ruin the stock nismo diff using the redline 75w90 and running that mf? just put 140 weight as per specialty z

You didn't ruin it. It already sucked. LOL If it got low enough on oil to get a bearing, you would already know. It would be very noisey and whine like crazy. If you are not experiencing that, you are good to go for now. You need a diff cooler or it will happen again.

Don't forget the Wavetrac. It is a nice diff also. You don't need a finned cover if you do the diff cooler.
