RE: mgw shifter install

i changed mine when i did it, only because you can pour it in when the shifter is off. my car had about 63k when i did it so, im thinking it was about time. i put in 3.0L(3.2quarts) of mobil 1 synthetic.

RE: mgw shifter install

They only highly suggest it since it is very easy to pour it in through the base of the shifter.. and most people can drive a car its whole life and not change the fluid..
