Getrag 284 Question


Recommended Posts

Posted

Has anyone changed their 5 Speed tranny oil Lately ?

If so what is a good recommended gear oil to replace it with.

I know the tranny does not take a standard weight gear oil.

I'm running the Redline Synthentic series right now.

 

Let me know

 

Thanx

GM recommends synchromesh in the 284 and I think all there FWD trannys. I would only use that in the 284 and nothing else the only downside is its like $9.00 a quart! :cry:

personally i would only use GM Syncromesh. unfortunately it's about $10/quart. thankfully my 282 only uses 2.1 quarts.

The 284 uses 2.1quarts as well. From fiero owners that have used just about anything and switched to syncromesh, they say the tranny shifts like a dream.

THe redline stuff cost alot as well

Is the GM Synchromesh synthetic as well ?

How many liters does the Getrag 284 take ?

 

Thanx for all the comments

From what I've read, GM Syncromesh is the best manual gearbox fluid there is. Even heard that said by Ford owners.

The quart and the liter are almost the same thing, but the quart is a little smaller.

 

So around 2 liters of syncromesh should be good.

I will ask my Buddy at the Chev dealer as well

The guy at the performance shop told me it only took 1 liter

I shouldn't have listened to him, stupid idot

I was driving around with a liter short

Hope my tranny is ok

I didn't drive it much anyway, but still what could have happened

 

Never trust anyone
