Hi there, first of all great forum, I can spend hours on here just reading and reading and reading
Anyway my question is this. I have been thinking about refilling the transaxle in my 69 VW Bug with fully synthetic oil but I am worried about leaks. The Box is the original unit and has (as far as I know ) never been torn down and rebuilt. Is there a good chance synth will just leak out past the original seals? I'm particularly worried about the flywheel seal failing and contaminating the clutch. What is everyone's opinion on this? If its a big no no its OK as I have three litres of Castrol 80W90 GL4 mineral ready to go if the Castrol TAF-X Synthetic I have is no good.
Your thoughts on this are much appreciated
