Lucky Mod SMF Long Term Use

Is there anyone that would be willing to provide info on longer term use of the "Lucky Mod" or Single Mass Flywheel use regarding lube oil for the ZF5 Speed Transmission and oil fill level? The gear rollover noise is a problem with this modification and I am trying to get answers to the following questions:

-How many miles (or at least best guess) have you been running your SMF or Lucky Mod?

-What lube oil (weight, type, brand, etc.) are you using in the ZF5?

-How much oil are you running in the ZF5 (most suggest some level of overfill to minimize the gear rollover noise)?

-How is your set up doing in minimizing the gear rollover noise?

-Any recommendations or have you had any problems with it?

-Your location (to evaluate temperature impact).


Thanks,
Tom

You need to talk with Mel. He's done this on two different IDI's and has some recommendations for the rollover noise you're experencing......like using straight 30wt oil instead of ATF.

Any way........you have a PM.
