Maybe the Amsoil is good, but with Mobil1 75W-90 in my 6MT, I confirm the syncros are not working correctly, so I will try a specific fluid for Manual Transmission this time.
To be perfectly clear, my FJC has an auto tranny; I use the Severe Gear in my FJ40 Land Cruiser and motorcycles.
I did, front/rear diff top/bottom are the same, but the TC is different if I remember right. Steel too, but not crush washers.
Great post, thanks a lot :rocker:
I added that info and links to relevant threads or videos online.
Sure and if you have any more info feel free to let me know so that I can add it.
Well per Toyota it is 75W-85 in the diffs and transfer case. If you have a 4x4 then Delvac is better than Mobile 1. If you have a 4x2 you'll need to use Mobile 1 in the rear diff (b/c of the LSD) and you don't have a transfer case or front diff.
Interesting, but why?
That's what I ordered for me; I plan to use it in a couple of weeks. The price was more or less aligned to other synthetics.
From what I've read it's designed for heavy-duty applications (18 wheelers, dually pickups) and thus includes absolutely no LSD additives, and is in general a heavy-duty oil. The LSD additives in Mobile 1 (for example), while they won't hurt your differential, aren't technically good for it. I know a couple of forum members use it, and I think have maybe even posted in this thread saying they use it, so they might be able to give you a better answer.
75W90 is what I put in all my gearboxes last time. However, I am not satisfied how the manual transmission works; the story about the synchronizers is apparently true.
Yes I also read this, and that is why I have written exactly that in my 2nd post.
