Transmission Fluid for plated type LSD

[pupjoint]

those running ZF LSDs with clutch plates or the GT LSD, what oil do you all run?

for my non LSD boxes i have been running this for 6-7 years now, switching over from Redline GL-5.



I am looking at this now for the LSD

I can't help you with the LSD question, but I was wondering how did you like the Gear 300 oil? How's the shifting?

Yes, I'd like to know how it worked as well.

According to Redline, their recommendation for a VW Type 1 transaxle is this one, the MT90 (for non LSD boxes).

the Motul Gear 300 worked good for me, smooth/slick. reason i used it is more due to convenience - my 2002 Subaru Sti with gear type LSD uses the same oil, so i just figured its easier to stick to the same brand i can buy in bulk

the other issue is i can not get most of the oils recommended by the guys in the USA apart from Redline in my part of the world.
