This "fact" has made its way through many BBS and always with horror
stories that no one could substantiate. Several VW tranny specialists have
always replied with the same thing, " Don't worry about it". That has always
been their replies. They, the tranny specialists in the ACVW industry, that
rebuild thousands of these gear boxes, have never seen any reason to warn
their customers to not use GL5. I use it in my boxes, though I am switching
one to Amsoil synthetic, and have to use it with my factory stock ZF limited
slip diff.
I am sure under absolutely the worst case scenario, there "could be" a
problem. All I have ever seen is a few dis-colored synchros, never eaten,
come out of a VW transaxle.
My suggestion? Don't lose any sleep over it, and at the next change, go
synthetic.

It is GL-5 Gear Oil. I remember a recent post that said NOT to
use GL-5. I only have a few hundred miles on her since that change.
Should
I change the Gear OIl to GL-4 as soon as possible? Have I permantly
damaged
my tranny?
