Postby ®usty » Fri Sep 12, 2008 10:19 am

Hey I'm wanting to replace my
- tranmission fluid, new filter at the same time?
- clutch fluid
- fuel filter

recommendations on what brand and grade fluids I should be using?

I assume that since you are asking for clutch fluid it's not an auto :)

I haven't had any troubles with Castrol VMX in my Celica and my Corona, both 5 speed manual 3S gearboxes (GE, F respectively)

As for fuel filter my ST183 has a standard repco fuel filter in it (it's a bastard of a thing to replace too, better you than me) and I have touched the clutch fluid.
Brute force and ignorance always prevails.

Failure comes from too little brute force, or too little ignorance.

Manual boxes dont have a trans filter, so no need to worry there ;) Clutch fluid, any Dot4 fluid will be sweet.
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!
