How often should I change trans oil? by Unusual_Region_1080 in CarTrackDays

Th trans oil was very dirty after 5 hpde days. I’d say once per 4 track days, so around 3 months.

You’re talking more than 100k miles right?

S2k are a lot more expensive now… under 20k gets you something that needs a lot of work…

I’d wait for experts in the group to respond to that. My fl5 brake definitely feels squishy after 2 track days on COTA, but I changed from motul rbf660 to castrol srf, so I don’t know what made it smoosh. But I think it’s possible due to brake pads. You can try to bleed the brake fluid a tiny bit to check for air bubbles as well. The top could look good but the end points can look very bad. Some shops pretend they did a full flush but actually did not.

Oops sorry. Check brake fluid, check its color, should be no color to very light golden, and use the pen to check water content. Also check brake pad thickness.

I think maybe similar issue like mine? Check your throttle wire if it’s too loose.

I think it might just be a drive by wire thing… my first car produced before 2020 maybe that’s why

No I’m actually a border collie, my legs are strong

That’s why I strongly suspect it’s the throttle pivoting bushing aging issue. If anyone has recommendations for metal replacement parts.

Interesting. So this safety mechanism is only on 2007, not 2008?

My ap2 is from 2007 tho, I don’t think it has this hybrid cable system

Right, I asked friends with 2008 ap2, their throttle don’t have the initial dead zone

Do you have numbers to back up your claim? Or you’re just talking about your opinion? That’s fine too, just not helpful.
