High Density Transmission Oil
I'm trying an oil from Mike's A Fordable that's part-number GL1500 and noticed an improvement in shifting gears -- can anyone share their experance using this in your transmissions/
Thanks |

Re: High Density Transmission Oil
OK, apologies, my post might have been a bit abrupt.
Here is a link to a recent thread on this topic. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...9841&showall=1 As you can see, nearly all posters agreed that heavy oil is the way to go in the gearbox because of the extra drag and how it helps shifting. In the interests of cutting down the total drag between the engine and wheels, I suggested an EP oil in the differential where there is no shifting of gears.

Re: High Density Transmission Oil
I did not care for Mike's GL1500 oil in my transmission. On cold mornings it made for extremely stiff shifting until warm (and this is SoCal). After warmup I did not experience any improvement in shifting over 600W.
