Good article explaining the theroy behind the rattle. Now makes sense.
On changing the oil, that sounds like a possible solution to try. All you are out is the time and oil. If it works, Fine..

Thanks for the responses.

less rotating mass with the lwf ,no getting around the noise .i dont care about my rattle, i love the faster revs.

 

There is a reason why nearly every transmission guru, tuner, race prep shop recommends Delvac.

 

I did not want to tell a guy to go against PCNA spec fluids over the noise just to get rid of the noise and then put the tranny up for grabs. Separate issue. I read change as change brand/type/spec to heavier stuff somehow. Nothing more than that.

Delvac or the Dealer supplied and labeled Delvac.

I suspect other fluids would be fine, but I don't know enough to try...and I did a full tranny job due to 2nd gear popout and don't want to go there for a long time.

As an aside, years ago when I got the LWFW, Kevin at UMW suggested that the use of the LWFW might actually decrease wear/load on the main bearing(s). I don't remember the exact data/details...but in the big picture using one might be better for an engine.

No, I don't understand this enough to say more than that. I've been happy and the engine revs much faster.

To the OP, good luck!
