I'm going to go with the BG II. What fluid/oil is the best for the transfer case and rear end (I just want to replace all the fluids in the drivetrain)? Also how often should you change the transmission oil?

 

I recently change my clutch and flywheel and put in some BG II, made a noticable difference. Tranny shifts so smooth now, feels like it's brand new or something.

 

I never changed my transmission fluid before....I have a 2g tsi and I've always had problems with 2nd gear grinding. The day I bought my car I was leaving the owners house and was going into 2nd and a loud chuuuuunk noise came up. I plan on doing a tune up on my car once I get my paycheck, not a COMPLETE tune up but change my brake pads, replace the tranmission fluid, maybe by some injector cleaner (if that shit even works) and whatever else there is to do that I can think of.

I've only heard of GM Syncromesh, Syncroshift, and Redine MTL and MT90. Who has tried any of these on their 2g before??? Oh yeah my 3rd gear grinds in higher rpms also around 4-5k.

 

I have done mtl and mt90 mix and just mt90


i would go BG synchrowhift next time

The recomendation seems to be redline shockproof in the transfercase and rear diff.

I've tried the redline mix, GM Syncromesh (BG Syncroshift) and BG II. BG II had the quickest, smoothest shifting and down shifted at higher rpms then the rest. It also never grinds.

Mine will grind 95% going into 2nd if it's anywhere above 2k rpms. So I always shift at 2k going into 2nd, even if I rev match or double clutch if doesn't help. Oh yeah it happens while downshifting and upshifting. Hopefully my fluid just needs to be replaced and I don't have worn synchros.

 

I noticed no difference when I changed out the tranny fluid to Syncro II
