[DeTomaso] ZF Gear Oil

[Pantdino]

We have this discussion every few months.

Any 75w90 gear oil that "is for limited slip differentials" has an additive that makes it so slippery the synchros don't have enough friction to work properly

Use the NS stuff. If you hear noise from your limited slip clutches, add tiny amounts of LS additive until it goes away.  Most of our clutches are probably worn out anyway.

ontrary to what you might think the 'NS' is for conventional gearboxes and 
non-limited slip' applications and the straight 75W90 is for all transmissions 
nd those with limited slip.
