Well I am in the process of changing my clutch on my new 130,000 mile 5 speed GT celica. I am not sure what oil to get. *P.S. I already did a search on this*
-Looks like Pennzoil syncromesh is liked by all but I can't get it around here!!! I couldn't believe it!!!
*I am also worried that this oil might damage my trans. over time as it is thinner than what the other gear oils are*


-THe only one I can find up here in the boondocks is Mobil 1 full synthetic. Is that any good...

-My owners manual recommends API GL-3 but I could only find GL-5 rated oils!!!!!


-Any thoughts????? THanks....

You can tell how good your tranny oil is during the cold. If its hard to shift or seems kinda stuck when warming up, then your oil sucks. I use castrol 85-90 in my tranny and yes it does suck,.
