Overview
MOTUL GEAR FF-LSD TYPE 2 75W-90 is a 100% Synthetic Ester-based lubricant specially designed for FF (Front-engine/Front-drive) type transmissions with a mechanical LSD (Limited Slip Differential) system. TYPE 2 is the low-friction variant of the GEAR FF-LSD range, offering excellent anti-wear protection, extreme-pressure performance and thermal stability at high temperature. Suitable for all transmissions (synchronised or non-synchronised), 6-speed transmissions, gearboxes with differential, transfer gearboxes, and hypoid differentials with or without LSD.

Key Features
- 100% synthetic ester-based lubricant with excellent anti-wear protection, extreme-pressure performance and thermal stability at high temperature
- Type 2: complex-ester-based, low-friction formulation
- Stable frictional performance across temperatures
- Friction modifiers avoid noisy or dragging limited slip differential operation with appropriate torque transfer
- Smooth gear shifting
- Flexible option for users requiring different frictional characteristics (Type 2 = low friction, vs Type 1 = high friction)
Applications
- FF (Front-engine/Front-drive) transmissions with mechanical LSD (Limited Slip Differential) system
- All transmissions (synchronised or non-synchronised), 6-speed transmissions, gearboxes with differential, transfer gearboxes, and hypoid differentials with or without LSD
- Circuit, Group A, Rally, Gymkhana, Tuned, 4WD and other performance-car applications

Directions for Use
Confirm your gearbox/LSD requires the Type 2 (low-friction) variant rather than Type 1 (high-friction) before use. Refer to the vehicle or gearbox manufacturer's instructions for the correct fill procedure and capacity. Drain interval: according to the manufacturer's recommendations, tuned to your own use.
Installation and usage guidance is general reference only. Manufacturer instructions take precedence. Visitors uncertain about installation or use should seek professional advice.
FAQ
What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 of Motul Gear FF-LSD?
