Sounds like u guys need a more robust oil. Since I installed mine I had to do one oil change. I had Amsoil gl-4, which always worked great, twice actually and always came out clean.

This time around I went with their 75w-110 gl-5 and is working wonderfully. Reason for the change was because it was popping out of gear and grinding everyonce in a while. When I drained it, it came out really dark. It wouldn't be a bad idea to change oils 3k-5k after installation and then leave it there. Pre LSD I had non of those issues.

For those who think that 75w-110 is too thick, the viscosity is in the upper end of a 75w-90 from three years ago. 90w used to start at 13.5 cst to 24.5 cst (roughly). Now it's split to 90w 13.5cst-17.5cst and 110w 17.5cst-24.5cst (roughly)

Highly recommend u guys do the change, my tranny feels like new again (knock on wood)

link of the oil your using? i dont have lsd but its good to show people what your using.

Can't find what I used to use, Amsoil GL-4 75w-90. Probably got phased out and replaced with their top of the line severe gear 75w-90.

This is what I'm using now:

At first I though that it being thicker I would have shifting issues when cold, but it is not the case. Works just as good as the other one on that dept.

that an interesting find there man.. so the 110 is cool to replace 90? get back with us when it gets cooler see if you see any difference on start up

Rasta

Strange I have had it for about 2 years maybe..I have not broke any trannys knock on wood.

first time i heard issues with trd lsd.. but its possible it could be from something else, ive heard tranny go bad without lsd

Carlanga

Will do, the coldest it has gotten is 62, so far so good. The way I see it 110 is a thick 90, at least when our trannies were design the 90 scale used to go that high. BTW, severe gear 110 runs at 20.4 cSt at 212F, high end of old 90 scale (three years ago). The one I used to run was in the 14's, pretty much the lower end of the scale. Not every oil company seems to be following though, only a select few do. Amsoil as an example do, Royal Purple don't and their 75w-90 is on the mid to thick side. I'm sure eventually everyone will follow suit.

I sound like I'm obsessed with oils lol

from what im told to keep the trannys holding we need a tranny cooler, the trannys break from heat, ptuning started using a tranny cooler and that has been the only thing thats made a difference

MrC_Ptuning

We modified the tranny on our race car to use a forced-oiling system with an external oil cooler--it helpls significantly, but when you're using a tranny designed to hold 130whp with a 550whp setup, things will break.

just as i thought

Rasta

You should sell a setup
