Slickness is gone once the transmission fluid was replaced

I had the gearbox and rear diff fluid changed to BP 75w90 (synthetic).
about 1.3 liter went into the rear diff and 2.7 was left for the
manual
gearbox.

It feels not the same now. The slickness of shifts seems to be out
and the rubbery feel of a subaru manual gearbox is in.

It's also seems more difficult to get A4 into the second gear.

I'm hallucinating or what? OEM VW transaxle oil is about $45 a quart
(liter actually)
around here and I'd rather not spend those $135 plus labor to get the
shifting slick and seamless
again.

Given that all of your posts to date have been totally devoid
of either interest or value, and with no reasonable expectation
for any deviation from that track record in the future, do kindly
take the hint and spare one and all from your continual boorish
behavior and permanently depart these premises until such
an unlikely time that you actually have something to contribute.

Well, trash films have their audience or they won't exist.
Some people just GOT to have their incompetence
on display thinly veiled as arrogance
(it;s widespread malaise where I live, but
apparently it found its way into the new world also:
the guy is the regular poster to a nascar NG if that tells you
anything :-))))))

hopefully the wrong fluid isn't going to mess something up down the
road.

Of what? What kind of car?

What did the dealer recommend? What does the manual recommend?

Is this an Audi A4? What year? Some of those want GL5 oil, some of
them want different oil for the gearbox and the differential.

It's a 20 minute job, you can do it yourself in the driveway. Don't
waste $135 on having some joker do it. I'd tend to recommend Red Line
or Motul but you'll get as many different oil recommendations as mechanics
I think.

redline may indeed have something, but motul seems to be more commonly
recommended on the vw forums.

75w80 or 75w90?

I was pondering the idea of lighter weight oil to alleviate that
shifting woe.

einstein's definition of insanity - keep doing the same thing but
expecting a different result.

I am not disputing the need to change the brand
and possibly sucking up to buying oem at the hefty premium
while going lighter weight.

thanks, though savings going online in my neck of wood ain't what they
are in the states
