what's the + & - of the 6 speed MR trans?
I was told and have read thats the 6-speed mr has smaller gears and less fluid in the transmission, and that it uses the same transmission box as my 5-speed. So what I am trying to say is the gear will be easier to break and will heat up faster, with the 6-speed.
Theres a 30 page thread on what fluid to use in the 6 speed to keep heat down. Search. Heat is the enemy of gears 4-6. Plain and simple. You need a THIN (read that Kodiak? Not a shockproof) fluid that protects from heat well. There is a reason why the six speed uses a different fluid then the 5 speed does. Its a bit thinner. Use an exact equivalent or super diaqueen ONLY.
A mix of redline MT-90 and Redline shockproof heavy decreased my 6spd internal temps 10c
That said, I am replacing my 6spd as soon as I can find a good deal on a 5spd.
Coming from you razor, I believe it. Considering your the first one to grenade that 4th gear lol. Have you been running with those fluids for a while? I remember people flaming on the fluid thread about the redline cocktail. If you think its helping, Im gonna make the switch.
I wouldnt see running straight shockproof though. 2 quarts MT-90 and 1 quart heavy shockproof has always been the shep/tre recomended dosage.
