I had my ZF5 gone through about 3 years ago. I was told by the shop who did it to run regular ATF in it, and change the fluid once a year. So I have
The first year it was perfect, the second year, when it was cold out it was a bit stiffer on a 2-3 shift, and this year the 2-3 is a bit worse than last year again.
Was thinking if going to a red line or royal purple ATF might help this? Seems worse in cold weather for sure.. Was perfect all summer.
Or is there another type or brand of fluid I should try.
If this does not help I will probably send the tranny back in to be gone through next fall and change the clutch as it will be 5 years old.
Thanks so much!
