As posted before I replaced my transmission last Friday I haven't had a chance to test drive it per Needed to complete additional work to the car. If all goes right I should be test driving it this week end but in order to do so I have to fill the transmission with transmission fluid per I flushed it prior to install. I went to pick up fluid today and at both spots advised to use pentosin atf1. However I have a 5 speed manual transmission . I picked up 3 liters as recommended by the shop, but I'm still unsure of using it. I was under the impression I needed to use Gear oil. Please advise on proper transmission fluid.

 

I was thinking of using Lucas or royal purple sae75w90 but they advised that's differential lube and not meant for transmissions. If I'm not mistaken Audi calls for a GL-5 oil which is equivalent to 75w90.

 

Redline MTL or MT-90?
Some are only for 6 speed transmissions, but they do make oil for 5 speeds.

 

blauparts.com..just grab a whole kit there..makes life easier.

 

redline MT-90 hands down, shifts better and cures some shifting problems and mild grinding, don,t forget the bevel box in the quattro models
