Hi people,

I've been running on motul gear 300 on my transmission since last september. Driven around 10000 km (or 60k miles) with the new fluid.

The car shifts fine, and it's been through sub -30 C too. But sometimes I wish it was a little bit less whinny. I know it's well normal for the car, but I was wondering if there is any other fluid that's a little bit quieter.

The whine is not loud at all, and I can only hear it when it's under load in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th (it should whine in 6th, but I never notice it), as it should be that way. I just remember seeing a post somewhere on the forum mentioning that the factory fluid is thicker and a new fluid might whine a bit more... I might be completely wrong on this regard. With that said, I can't remember what it was like with the factory fluid since I was new to the car and replaced the fluid only after a few weeks I bought the car.

Thank you.
