I will add this, I drove it for 10-15 miles already, and where as the transmission had a bit of a whine at 65 before, now it is really quiet. And it may be placebo effect, but it does feel like it goes into gear smoother than before.
Redline Light ShockProof gear oil. Or Heavy Shockproof if you don't mind your gear changes being a bit notchy until the gearbox heats up.
When I was driving the American Passat, I switched it over to RedLine MT-90 at one point, and it was like buying a new transmission. The stuff that came out sure as hell wasn't 90W any more!
For me I used in my daily and race car, Motul or Redline, I've never had any issues or problems with the Dealer too.
i mean i guess the gear oil is ok.. i had redline and liked it a little better. i think i had MT-90 tho ..
I went with the redline on my QSW wagon that has second gear grind in cold weather. It made a world of difference, the transmission feels perfect now.
Redline MTL is the only lube I could notice a diff and it plain shifts better.
this morning i change the gear oil to MT90 redline still no luck the 1st gear crunch noise still there
I was having trouble a while back with a grind in third gear when I was WOT and shifting fast from 2nd to 3rd. I recently put my car back on the road and put in Red Line Heavy Shock Proof Gear Oil. I have shifted a half a dozen times fast into 3rd and I have not got a grind yet . I like this stuff so far.
I use redline MT90.. it works great (But please read below.. there's more to this). Eliminates the notchyness and allows for quicker shifting at higher RPM.
