    We're so lucky as owners to have a creator like you making these videos. Thanks man. I've got some gearbox, differential, and engine oil all waiting for a weekend soon. But first: decat, as long as I can get the 3 bolts off nearest the engine. Damn rust, had to buy an impact wrench and some jack stands so I can really attack them. If all else fails it's angle grinder time!

    When I changed clutch, I poured directly into where the removed gear shifter was until it poured out filler top hole. It is much easier! Don't have to pump in.

    BW. The damage on the oil ring was from you prying at it. not from it sitting on the engine. But I do like your video editing as others said. Cuts the bs. I rebuilt my FD and got a new rx8 daily and videos like these cut out SOOOO MUCH time. (needed to double check top and bottom drain plugs.)

    Hi Kristian, a small advice see if you had the same. I changed my gear and diff oil not long ago, it was very smooth then. After a few months it feels very gritty and rough during 1&2 gear. The rest is fine goes very smoothly to third gear from second. I thought it was cold weather but it is still gritty after it is warmed. Any ideas?

  • @nosmirCkraD
    @nosmirCkraD 7 лет назад

    Is there a reason why you put 90 oil in the gear box and 75w90 in the differential, which is exactly opposite to the owners and workshop manuals recommendation? I'm just saying that in those cold winter days or whenever is 10 degrees or less maybe 90 would be too thick for the transmission and 75 will be too thin for the differential untill it warms up.

    • @Drivenbymadness
      @Drivenbymadness  7 лет назад +2

      Ummm no no no, you got this wrong. Gearbox 75W90 GL4 and nothing else! And differential 75W90, and also tollerates 80W90. I've put the 80W90 in the transmission cause i wanted to feel the difference , and also the difference in viscosity is very small, but it's better for hot days, and where it live, it's 80% hot as hell, and 15% 5° and 5% like -2°.

    Nice video. I have a question about oil (but not transmission oil). How much oil do I need to add into the engine to come from the first (low) point of the dipstick to the center point or to the max point of the dipstick.

      Automatic transmissions are made a bit differently. If your rx8 is older than 8 years and you never changed transmission oil in this period, it is not recommended to change, because it can cause damage.

      What you call granny shifting is normal shifting. No need to double clutch it in a normal gearbox with good synchros, unless you want to look "cool". If you want to help your gear box, match revs when changing gears down.
