My ATV gearbox has been returned after a service and fitting the ATB Quaife LSD.
The guy who did the work recommended using Dextron 2 Automatic gearbox fluid as the best fluid / oil to use. Seems a bit strange to me for a manual gearbox?
What is the best option for smooth gear changes, a quiet gearbox and long life?!
Don't want to bugger it up after all the hard work.
Thanks
quaife recommend standard original vw gearbox oil,that's what i use in mine. Torsen diff dont require special oil unlike plate diffs.
I would go with whatever quaife say!
I just used the standard gearbox oil vw recommend in mine
should be ok for a quaife but in case anyone with a different diff reads this, ask whoever makes the diff what to use as some (plate types) need different oil.
Yep make sure that you use the VW recommended stuff with the Quaife unit. Wont be the same for different manufacturers though so always check...
Thanks for all the recommendations - standard VW recommended stuff it is!
Thanks again.
Thread bump.
Need to fill up my ATV box with a Quaife fitted. The standard VW oil for the box is G 060726A2 but the VW dealer doesn't know the specs of it. Is this oil really the best thing to use? Its £4.95 + VAT per litre btw :)
I did mention Quantum Hypoid but its not listed as the oil to use.
I'm sure it's 75w80 or 90
