Default Re: Best upgrades for power xr8

Gearbox was fine, clutch had a lot of oil on it though. Luckily it was nearly gone anyway so a good time to replace it. Slave cylinders are a known weak point on them, wish I had replaced it with one of the Mal Wood alloy ones now.


Mine shifts fine most of the time but on occasion at a dead stop the synchros don't quite line up for first and I have to select second then first. I wouldn't say the gearbox is slick but not notchy either, just a typical Tremec. Apparently changing the oil to Penrite 70w75 makes them shift a bit nicer than the factory spec auto trans fluid. I'll be trying that on my next change.
