projectRX Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Alright I just bought markjw's old wagon (thanks again mark). Its my first ea81 and im very happy with it. but it could definitely use a fluid swap because its old and kinda dirty and shifts hard and takes a while for the synchros to finish their job OH and it has a bearing hiss after its been driven for a good while. No offense but I dont care for the idea of "scotty's mix" and Im having trouble finding ANY redline products and dont want to go buy something online and wait for a week at best. So, What do you guys use and recomend for a fluid change? Also when the time comes for the motor, what do you use with ea81's 10-30, 15-40? synthetic? regular? (The wagn came with everything but a manual. Seriously, original options receipt, window sticker, dealer ad on's pamphlet etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run Scotty's in all mine and it works just as well on the EA81 4 speed as it does on the rest of them. The redline shockproof is awesome stuff. If it's really dirty and shifts hard, fill it with ATF and change it after 1,000 miles.... or just leave it in there. Run it till the front diff frags and install a 5 speed.
