What gearbox oil should I use for the factory mounted LSD ?, lsd gerarbox Options

[glenn]

I have been working with my ST202 all summer now, and fixed a lot of things, but one problem I have was that the gearbox cooler line leaked, I still haven't fixed that, but maybe 1l gearbox oil have leaked out now.

On the oil fill plug there is a specific warning, something like "Warning! read users manual!"

I GUESS that it is because my car have the factory LSD option, and therefore I need special oil.

Does anyone know what oil it should be ? ..Of course I could read the owners manual, sure, but I don't have it, and the badly scanned versions I found do not have anything about the LSD as far as I can see.


..Also I cannot find the part numbers for the pipes going to the gearbox oil cooler, so I guess I have to make new ones myself, just have to get the old ones lose, when I tried the pipe broke down totally.. they are very rusty.

If I look into the EPC it doesn't cover the gear box cooler at all, I guess that its only mounted with the LSD option ?

do you have an E56 or an S54??

your better off joining the fb group for official 6gc group rather than asking here as this forum only works a few times out of the month.

That warning read manual is found on new drain plugs. I am rebuilding my E56/E250 transaxle and i bought that same plug.

this is what I use to find parts. you can also use amayama or mega zip

But there they have the bypass pipe (33409, "TUBE SUB-ASSY, MANUAL TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER") instead of the oil cooler I have at that place.

To be exact, I have two hoses there, that connect to two pipes, that connect to the transmission radiator, none of those are in any EPC I have found.

Actually, after googling I saw some post that teh ST205 always have that oil cooler, and..

It looks very similar, probably the same parts..

Also one of the pipes are discontinued, and the other seem to be expensive.


Also, today I used the induction heater and finally got the old connection lose, it seem to be M16x1,5mm.. Maybe I can make a pipe myself if I can find the right kind of pipe and nipples.

Also have to remove the front bumper to be able to lose it from the cooler..
