Rs4 S Manual Transmission

Hi im just wondering what i should be using in my gearbox, ive heard a few different things about running oil or auto transmission fluid.

I know u run tranny fluid in the transfer case but not sure about gearbox.

In the Redline Oils range, which I personally use, you would be looking for the "Lightweight Shockproof" product. If you have another brand in mind simply make sure it's a GL-4 rated gear oil.

Auto fluid in a manual gearbox?

same here, just jap told me to use the same....

Yep, Redline Shockproof is what I have in my gearbox too.

It's not cheap, but it does make the gearshift smoother, especially when you first jump in the car and all the oils are still cold.

All R32, 33, 5sp 34 and Stagea manual boxes use gear oil. Only R34 GTR 6 speed Getrag boxes use trans fluid.

strange but true. Lots of newer manual boxes run auto fluid.

old e series falcons run auto trans fluid in the 5 spd manuals, when i converted my ED falcon from auto to manual, when i heard it took auto trans fluid i researched it for a few days til i was confident enough to put the auto fluid in.

They had auto tranny fluid listed on file at autobahn for R32 GTR, R33 GTR, R34 GTR thats why i thought fluid rather than oil because they are very similar boxes. But i think ill go with oil.

not good...hope people double check before buying because I bet autobarn won't pay to replace the gearbox.

workshop manual says 75w90 gear oil for r32 and r33. I'm use 75w80 or redline lightweight. But never auto trans fluid, that is r34 (getrag) manual only

How much oil should it take?
