Re: Tranny oil Q

[Paul Maione <scirocco_16v@yahoo.com>]

I had the same problem when I first saw that huge hex
bolt! What I did was just take some Vice Grips and take it off that
way. Worked perfectly. As far as tranny oil goes, I put Castrol Hypoy
C Oil in my box, but it didn't cure my grinding. I'm going with the
Castrol Synthetic before I bring the car out of storage, I hear it's
also good for when the gear box is cold. Sells for about $15 canadian
per litre. You need 2.5 liters to fill the box. I paid $9 cdn for
three liters of Castrol Non-Synthetic, so there there HAS to be a
difference if you're paying that much more!
(I hope!)

HTH!
