2nd gear, hard to shift after tranny oil change

[Smallblock454]

The Porsche OEM oil that Porsche used for the G 86.20 is a full syntethic oil. See above.

The difference is, that it is not a normal MT oil. It's a transaxle oil, because the differential also runs in that oil.

Markus,
Excellent data.Thank you .
I wonder what the magic modifier is in the specified Shell Spirax you reference ? Friction modifiers?

This may help or confuse us?

At least we could do a group buy of only 5 gallons and send the surplus to Markus for his helpfulness :-).

before we get confused - confirm the gearbox is a 6+SPEED (not 5) and has LSD. Otherwise we'll be muddling.All my comments are 6+speed only !
