    Redline heavy duty shock proof in tranny ???

    Crap! Did you check PepBoys? Last I looked down here they had the GearPlus GL-4. Since you are going to only be using it as a short time "flush", just about any 75W, 80W, or 85W-90 GL-4 gear oil will work, including the one you posted from NAPA.

    Redline heavy duty shock proof in tranny ???

    I prefer the synthetic for longevity, but the 80W-90 works well too.

    What else should I do while parts off

    Check your plugs...inspect the cam shaft seals.

    Redline heavy duty shock proof in tranny ???

    Use it if you want...not my LSD. Not sure who told you that, but sounds like another one of those "my buddy's, sister's boyfriend told me" deals. Considering the viscosity of that gear oil, it's no wonder it muffles LSD whine...pack your LSD with grease, that will reduce whine too ;) The...

    Redline heavy duty shock proof in tranny ???

    Red Line 75W-90 has a nasty habit of being too slippery for a LSD with a lot of miles on it...induces chatter. An alternative is to mix straight 75W-90 and 75W-90NS 50/50...if you need additional modifier, you can add it. Can't take it out though ;) Ford oil + friction modifier also works...

    Redline heavy duty shock proof in tranny ???

    No. Stick with Red Line 75W-90 in the LSD...even then, it's probably not the best oil to use on a high mileage LSD. Read the previous posts for what to use in the tranny ;)

    code 22

    Code 22 is one of the fail safe functions of the TCCS...a temp of 80 deg C is used in all calculations using coolant temp. That explains the hard cold start...start-up enrichment is minimized and there is no warm-up enrichment. You should be seeing a lean condition cold. However, after the...

    Redline heavy duty shock proof in tranny ???

    Vlad - the loads are far different...the pamphlet talks about gear mesh loads which put a pretty severe shear on any lubricant. Thrust loads are a completely different issue and do not require the high pressure additives present in the Heavy ShockProof. It's fine that you use this oil for a...

    Bad idle when cold

    Hal - I was not addressing you like a Newb...I was addressing you in a way that was appropriate to what you posted. The reason is it would have distracted him from what is really going on...I hope you learned something. A couple of things as to be absolutely clear: - You pointed at the...

    Bad idle when cold

    Ummmm...I though I was being very patient (with you at least). Here's a guide...it has you removing the TB. You can do it with the TB on the manifold, but I think it's more difficult that way. The TSRM also shows how to do it. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97689 Have...

    Pennzoil Gearplus 80W-90...get the GL-4 ;)

    Redline heavy duty shock proof in tranny ???

    Don't mix them...either will work fine. Keep in mind, durability will suffer with the Light ShockProof...it is meant for race applications where parts are replaced/refurbished on a set basis. The document posted above makes specific mention of that.

    Splattering/Missing under load >10 vacuum

    First - Read this: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/TechTips/vacuum_gauge_readings.aspx Second - Do you have any ECU codes? Third - Coolant temps of 72 deg C means the coolant is never getting in the 80-100 deg C ops temp range. The ECU is staying in warm-up enrichment. Pull the connector...

    Redline heavy duty shock proof in tranny ???

    Read that long ago...don't you think that I would have before I posted previously? Vald - Where does it say anything in that pamphlet about thrust loads? If you are going to back up what you say, at least use info that supports it. Heavy ShockProof is not appropriate for for the R154...

    BOV question

    Keep in mind Tom is running speed density...venting a BOV to atmosphere is not an issue because of that. On the stock system, venting to atmosphere can cause the engine to stall. A good alternative to the stock BOV is the Bosch 110 and recirculate the same as stock.

    Idle Randomly High, Other times perfect

    I see you have an '88...does the TB have the air bypass screw on top of it? If so, it needs to be full closed. A clogged ISCV can/will cause idle problems, but usually on the low side of a normal 650 idle. It will not hurt to clean it. Do you have a little air filter on it? Any codes?

    Bad idle when cold

    Normal idle is 650 RPM. Like I said before this started going off on all sorts of vectors, you need to fix the code 51. Idle will not work correctly with it present...you can't accurately set timing either. The hot start FP up VSV is only active when coolant temp is above a certain level...
