Ian, i just filled my tranny last night, i was drinkin a bit, so my measuring skills were not much better then my math.:nono:

i purchased cheaper oil that did not have LSD additive in it since any of the more expensive oil's carry this additive, and i feel it add's to much lubrication to the syncro's causing poor shifting.
i figured i'll change it ever 2-3 oil changes or 3 times year.


but what i did was i bought a gallon jug, 3.758 L on the side, i left about 1inch of fluide on the bottom, in the bottom of the jug figuring i put int 3.2 qt's

i now know i did some bad conversion's. but really how bad is it to over fill?

i could see airation, forming becoming a problem. will the syncro's become over lubricated aswell?


well tomorrow i'll get back to you with the actualy volume of the jug i used, i think i have my measurments wrong.
