    Changing Transmission Fluid Help DC5R

    I own a dc5r with 175,000 km. For the one year i have owned it the gear shifts have been very smooth and overall have felt very solid. However, the last month or so that is not the case. Gears are much harder to get into than previously and overall quality feels bad. Ive never tracked the car but i do drive the car in a spiritedly manner quite often. I am not sure when the transmission fluid was changed last so i am worried if i do change it i could loosen deposits that have settled into place etc. As for what oil/fluid to use i am not sure for my car. Ive done a lot of research but could not find a good reccomendation for my specific car. Would appreciate any knowledge and recommendations of what fluid/oil to use as i am a noob. Keep in mind the issues i have with the car at the moment and the fact that its a daily and is driven in hot conditions in summer. Thanks.

    Nothing in your OP states that you know how to change it. Infact , since you are asking for recommendations for fluid , unsure of if deposits or not will be loosened and clearly stated you are a noob it implies you do not know how to.

    Buy the recommended fluid ( MTF06) pay someone to change it (mech or DIY guy)

    Buy any GL5 75w90

    or buy MTF

    if you want recommendations, i have used penrite pro gear, motul 300v and motul ff type 2 all with great success.

    Also the oil weight should be dependent on weather and conditions for us aussies its 75w90 GL 5 for most modern day cars.

    either way i didn't receive any useful info other than what oil to use. Personally i dont want to pay people for every little thing i need done for my car. Yes I'm a noob. I've only been driving for a year and I've never had the opportunity to learn the basics outside of watching videos on the internet and reading forums. So i would appreciate if people were giving me some good knowledge.
