Seconding this, mine feels like a completely different transmission after the first 10 minutes. Nothing unusual just cold. Notchy is the perfect word to describe it.

That sounds like something people who drive Volvos would pay for.

It's been quite a number of years....but my first new car was a 2003 WRX and the SFL suby dealers were so bad I refused to take my car there and instead learned how to do stuff myself. Thankfully the suby auto-x community down there was amazing at the time and helped me jump in with maintenance and mods.

Fun fact: Multi-weight oils didn't come out until the early 1950s, before that everything was a single weight. I had an old Chevy with a big in line six that used straight 40w. It would burn through anything else (probably because it needed new rings). |

At about 8000 miles and half a dozen days on track I changed the transmission and differential lube to the Ford Motorcraft XT-M5-QS 75w90. The transmission had gotten very notchy and started whining. When I drained the original 75w transmission fluid it smelled very bad- burned smell, very dark, had a lot of metal in it, and had the consistency of water. The original 75w90 differential lube was a bit better in that it still resembled a lubricant but was dark and had a ton of particulates in suspension and stuck to the drain plug.
After the change the transmission shifted noticeably better and the whine quieted down. Seeing these results I plan on changing at least once a year or every 5-6 track days at a minimum. I hope the 75w90 in the trans holds up better than the OEM 75w. |
