| Re: G50 Gearbox Oil Level Russ,
I posed this very question to "our" expert Porsche mechanic. His answer to me was to fill it to the sight plug and it would be fine. Not knowing how much that is, makes it kind of interesting. Will contact my other guy and pose the question to him. He has an inverted 930 also.
Dimi,
What type/weight oil are you using? I can/t say I have ever heard of clear trans oil(I am assuming you mean transparent). But hey, the only trans I knew about before the 40 was a Muncie 4 speed. On the advice of my experts, they use only Swepco 201 which is 80/90 oil which is made for high performance, heavy use transmissions and differentials. According to him, one should only use an oil made for LSDs in an LSD setup. I would gather that the LSDs have a higher level of friction/requirement with the clutches. Then it also depends on how you have them setup, as some are 80/20, others 50/50 etc.
Swepco 201 is blue by the way, and smells worse than a 4 day old baby's diaper.
Bill
