Hi Folks,

I ordered some Shell 680wt. oil for my tranny and put it in last week. I drained out the test oil (what was left of the vendor stuff and a can of STP) which I used just to get around the block to test the clutch. And added the new oil. Well went on my clubs mystery tour this weekend and she shifted SO smoothly with that oil in her.

I only had one small issue and that is when she slid out of third gear going down a slight grade. No noise, no jolt, no nothing-just slid right out of gear. So after a split second of panic I revved the engine and put her back into gear and kept right on going. And the best part-she doesn't drip like with the vendor supplied oils!
