usernumber1234 Member 47 Member For: 13y 2m 16d Posted 07/08/13 09:32 AM Share Posted 07/08/13 09:32 AM Do you reckon that incorrect oil level would cause a flare on all gears? Changed the oil again and it seems to be flaring just a little at high rpm. Only other thing that has happened is gearbix tune. Surely they would increase shift pressure at high rpm?

I had flaring when I used transmax in my old bf. In the fg I only used genuine and no faring and holding 400rwkw with a tuned zf. Did you measure how much oil came out and went into it?

usernumber1234 Member 47 Member For: 13y 2m 16d Posted 08/08/13 03:38 AM Author Share Posted 08/08/13 03:38 AM Using gulfwestern syntrans. This is my second fill so yes followed procedure from zf manual but its not super exact. Have a feeling it might be leaking somewhere. Had a rough idea of how much came out but hard to tell on the 20L drums how much went in. Running a pwr cooler.Tuner is not the issue... best in sydney. In my old 4 speed when that started flaring it was a specific clutch at all rpm. This is all gears at higher rpm (dont really have a test track to do higher gears...)

Tuned zfSyntransFlaring.That person said stock tune in box fixed it. Is it simple for you to swap the stock gearbox tune in and see what happens?

The revs rising is the flaring part.Be like you keeping foot on gas while shifting the manual.
