I've been working through my 2005 997 3.6 giving it a proper mid-life spruce-up. I recently had the gearbox oil changed using Porsche supplied fluids. The car has a SSK fitted and since the oil was changed, it is noticeably more difficult to change into 1st and 2nd gear when the car is cold. The general feel of the gearshift is also not as nice as it was before.
I'm pretty sure that the all the oil choices for the car are 75w90, so would it be worth switching this oil out for some Millers CRX 75w90 NT+? I have Millers engine oil and this has made a big difference to the engine (which has had a rebuild).
I know the early 997 1st/2nd syncros are notoriously rubbish and i also know that Porsche tend to spec fluids better suited to new cars than 12yr old cars.
Car is back at the garage having a few other things sorted (rear suspension, engine mounts, inner door seals etc etc), so if it's worth swapping out the oil, i can order some in today.
cheers
