5 speed dccd oil

[ginganinja]

hi everyone,

this would have been posted before but I can\'t pin it down.

can anyone point me in the right direction for oil to use in my 5 speed dccd gearbox from a v5 sti RA. I have read the front diff is helical lsd so is anything special needed?

thanks

if you post the gearbox code you can ascertain the front diff type for certain.

Does it matter? No factory front LSD is plated... so ordinary gearbox oil will do.

75w-90 fully syn, I use Penrite syngear

Shockproof light here. Against advice, i added a little friction modifier to loosen up the DCCD a bit. Worked perfectly.

i run a helical front diff in my box, similar to those run in a 5mt application and i know we use a different fluid because of the helical lsd.. as appose to that of a straight viscous unit

Well it was that or possibly the repeated skids and clutch drops that stopped the diff shuddering horribly on anything more than quarter lock. Now it binds up nice and smooth no matter what setting you use. Hell i dont even know if the DCCD clutch plates are sealed or splash lubed with trans oil....but i mended it.

I was just imagining that you were too retarded to know it was electronically adjustable.

heres one i prepared earlier. it all shares the same gearbox lube. they can start to grind away a bit, my original one was never the same after a dyno run.

Bit quick to judge me there skipper.

Nice photo Nick. Thats a bigger jigsaw puzzle than i\'d like to deal with.

ended up going with Motul ff lsd 75w90

[ginganinja]

Ok so a bit of a thread revival. Still get very mixed opinions on this topic around DCCD gearbox oils.

 

I am up to doing my gearbox oil again in my rebuilt 5 speed DCCD box.

 

Gearbox number TY754B1EA 

 

So this has the helical front diff. Last time I used Motul FF Type 2 LSD 75w90.  However i cant get any of this till mid jan and I was hoping to be starting the car this weekend.

 

What oils are others using in this gearbox? Do I need and LSD oil for the box and front diff due to the Helical front LSD? What alternatives are there to the mogul I have mentioned?

Look forward to your responses.

Castrol Syntrax. 

To the best of my knowledge, it's what the cars are serviced with, and I've never had any issues with it being in my DCCD 5 speed or my S204 box.

Just the standard syntrax 75w90?

I've been running Motul Gear 300 in my 1CA and 1EA for years. No complaints, and they used to get a pretty hard workout on a regular basis.

just so i am clear, you run the Motul Gear 300 or the Motul Gear 300 LS?

And also while i am at it what do you run in your rear Diff?  i am guessing you have an R180 LSD?

[ginganinja]

Ok guys, I am just wanting to confirm. How much Oil does the 5 speed gearbox take? And how much oil does the rear diff take?

Is 5l going to be enough?

[Optical]

4L for the trans and 1L for the diff is plenty.

Yes, the non LS version. For the R180 I think just PA90. Oh, and sometimes you can get better pricing on Motul stuff through motorcycle shops (unless of course you can already get cost+ somehow).
