We don't have standard cars we have tunes in them and tunes in the ZF, they run way more HP, so the variables change. If you go by the manual you can't put Gulf Western in them. 🐴🌊 Edited 13/05/21 07:04 AM by adams355 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SYN TS is slightly 'thicker', I talked to Gulf Western about this awhile ago because they actually have a better suited transmission fluid for the ZF but due to the fluid being heated over 80 degrees in the standard ford's transmission/cooler setup they prefer to use the SYN-TS. If you run a cooler and know that it doesn't get over 80 degrees you can use the LV ZF transmission fluid which is the same as Lifeguard 6. When I do my next change I am actually going to run the Amsoil multi LV ATF because it is a true full synthetic and my trans never gets over 80 degrees. So I will be the guinea pig for that, though I have already run a few different brands specified for the ZF with no issues. LG6 26.8 @40°C 5.6 @100°C GW SYN TS 32 @ 40°C 6.7 @ 100°C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh883 Member 44 Member For: 10y 11m 29d Posted 20/06/21 12:13 AM Author Share Posted 20/06/21 12:13 AM So I'm still having this problem in 2nd and 3rd gear in wot. I'm thinking something is slipping as it's at Max power and load. Can someone tell me if it's bands in the gearbox that changes it into third and is third gear a band engaging?
