Thread: How often are you changing your transmission and driveline fluids?

  1. #1

    Default How often are you changing your transmission and driveline fluids?

    So my MR has 19000 miles and so far I have been following the recommended service intervals.

    But I am noticing a slight grind, very slight, going into 2nd and 3rd. Seems to be worse going into 2nd. It isn't that bad but I'm just wondering whether its just a fluid issue as I've read from other posts.

    Recommended fluids seem to vary as well.

    Did mine shortly after break in period and I'll follow the recommended intervals, but that will change if the car sees track or has been raced etc. Using OEM stuff for rear diff and tc, and Mopar 75w-85 GL4 fuild for the MR tranny.

    I do ever 15K and use the same fluids as SavageEvo8. You can pick it all up from Speed Element. For the tranny fluid, tell them you want to buy their mix (which is the synchroshift II and 2 different redlines). When you do the fluid change, make sure the car is level.

    Yikes, I need to do this. I've only had my car serviced once (30k service) at 17k miles when I bought the car. Now that I'm at about 32k, I'd better do a 15k service on the car soon.

    I do mine early on my MR. If 1st and 2nd are grindy, it may be cause its cold. Mine does that very little when I first drive it, but after a while it goes away. Get a blox roll stopper from SE does wonders!
