RE: Milano tranny fluid ?s

["Jeff Greenfield" <alfaguy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, you want to use the 75w90NS as it will be kinder to the synchros than
Redline's 75w90. BUT and this is a BIG BUT, you want to use a very small
amount of their friction modifier, about 1-2% by volume. Start out with the
lesser amount and if you get any chattering from the LSD add just a little
more.

I went through all this with another Transaxle (non-Alfa) car sometime ago,
and had several conversations with the people at Redline about this.

This is what I've done and it has worked well for me.

LMK if you have any questions. I've written more about this in the recent
past, try searching the archives ... I'd do it myself or re-write the whole
deal but I'm too tired right now.

YMMV,

Jeff

Subject: Milano tranny fluid ?s

Its time to replace the fluid in my recently rebuilt tranny it is a 4.10
LSD. I've seen several posts here where people recommend Redline 75w-90NS,
but when I went to purchase it I see that Redline's description of the NS
product is confusing. It starts out by saying that this shouldn't be used in

an LSD tranny. But then goes on to say that it is appropriate to use this in

racing LSDs for increased lockup. And finally ends with street driven rear
wheel drive cars should use the non-NS product.

Talk about confusing! My LSD was rebuilt with a 50% lockup, when the tranny
was rebuilt about 5k miles ago. My car is a street car and will rarely see
track time (just for the occasional driving school). Can anyone offer
suggestions or tell me of their experiences with the different versions of
this synthetic gear box oil?

Thanks, Derek
