[V6-12v] Gear oil, brake job

[Chris Thorp]

Luckly my Sears did have that giant hex wrench. It looks like someone 
took a regular "L" shaped hex hey and blew it up.  :) Unfortunately it 
only worked for the rear diff...  The tranny took a big torx for the 
fill plug and a big triple-square bit with a security dimple in it for 
the drain plug. (01A transmission).

My FLAPS had a little pump with hoses for filling the diff and trans.  
Made it do-able, not clean...

I did read several warnings about not using GL-5 in the older audi 
transmissions.  It is apparently very bad for the brass synchros.  If 
your gearbox calls for GL-4, I would advise filling it with either OEM 
fill or Readline MT-90.  After the change (the previous owner had put 
Amsoil GL-5 in it), the transmission got a little harder to shift but it 
stopped grinding into gear.
