Vanagonauts, Just a quick report on my switch to MT-90. I changed over from dino oil in my 91 manual trans Multivan about 5 weeks ago. I have since been pleasantly surprised on the few mornings in the 20 degree Fahrenheit range to find the gearbox shifting like on a summer day. Anyone who lives in the great white north knows how annoying that feeling of moving gears through molasses is. I'm happy to report that this is the cure. For those who have never changed the gearbox oil I posted a write-up at: http://vw.upnorth.net/index.phtml?catid=101 and feel free to leave a comment re: any tips you may have about doing this procedure. While you're there, sign up for the Vanagon Rescue Squad at: http://vw.upnorth.net/index.phtml?catid=74 John Meeks Top of Lower Michigan 91 Westfalia MultiVan http://vw.upnorth.net |
