88mjgilley Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 we also live on a busy highway with welded rears so taking off in 2nd doesnt work very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubpilot Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Mine loves one bottle of Lucas transmission fix and the remanider synthetic gear oil. I wasn't a believer of the rebuild in a bottle, but I gave it a shot and I can testify that it works! 225000km, on the original transmission, 33" tires on it more than half it's life.

ParadiseMJ Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I used Pennzoil Syncromesh...in my Peugot. Very smooth upshift and downshift. The PO had apparently been using some kind of oily swamp slime, with added chunks of goop...didn't look like he'd ever changed it. Since there is no type of, or provision for a filter, any cooling or any recirculation of lube it's very important to keep it changed on a regular basis IMHO. I changed mine out annually (and I only drove it about 5K miles a year, if that). Running an AW4 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I used to have the same problem with my pukies. If it was cold enough to where double clutching wouldn't do the trick, I just ran it up a bit higher in 1st, then went to 3rd. It dogged a bit, but wasted less time than dealing with 2nd.

tubpilot Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 what weight gear oil? 75W90, I use Motul Gear 300 cause I work at a bike shop and we carry it. It's GL-4 and GL-5 rated, the gear oil that's just GL-5 seemed to bee a bit notchy feeling in the shifter. I have always been tempted to use 2 stroke trans oil, my wifes Civic is gonna get it when I get around to changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
