Clutch and Tranny Oil

andy669 · 04-26-2005, 07:33 AM

The fifth to reverse situation is normal. In a synchronized Tremec I would run what they recommend. GM Synchromesh. For the clutch pedal, I like to have the pedal loose all the way at the top with about an inch of play. How old is the disc? When you take it out, measure the thickness with a dial caliper and compare it with the new one. The new one will probably be around .315-.320.

Andy, just out of curiosity, what would you recommed for oil in a pro-shifted Tremec TKO II? Face plate pro-shifted that is. Walt went through it for me. Just for the record, I ran Synthetic 5W-30 MOTOR oil in my synchro Tremec with ZERO problems. God, I loved that tranny!!!!

Either Red Line Lightweight Shockproof (green stuff) or Royal Purple Synchromax. I have used both. My G Force T-5 called for SynGearII. That crap was like loctite.

Well heck, I got a few bottles of loctite here, I'll just throw that in! LOL Well, green's bad luck on the race track, so it looks like Royal Purple for me!
