Servicing is necassary after heavy use but it takes f all to drop the pan, change the filter & refill with oil. Was starting to slip a touch when max boost & torque came on but at near enough to 900hp it can be forgiven. that's after 15000klm, would have to be over 200 dyno pulls & a full track track so not bad, since serviced it & gonna retry soon. With the std box we were seein a touch of flare on gear changes, we did a full flush & service & it fixed it also made the gear changes faster & positive. A mate ran penrite in his at only 300kw & caused the box to flare & carry on on gear changes, we flushed it with transmax z & it was all good & better than new once we got all the other fluid out of the system.

I want to change to Transmax Z. Is it best to buy 20L? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mie450 Member 5 Member For: 16y 7m 20d Gender: Male Location: The Shire Posted 11/09/11 07:33 AM Share Posted 11/09/11 07:33 AM Bit the bullet today and dumped the 20 k old transmax z from the typhoon and replaced it with gulf western syntrans atf. Was not completely happy with the feel of the transmax, but this is has made a big difference, shifts are now smooth and very nice. So add my vote for gulf western. Car has 52000 kms, but is running 380 rwkw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
