    Making a transmission more efficient: film strength versus thickness

    I think it could: syncro depends on the drag pulling the speeds of the rotating parts together as they close. If moly affects that drag, then syncro would be affected (OTOH, moly is effectively a surface treatment and by the time the surfaces have got that close, it might all be over. I can't be...

    Making a transmission more efficient: film strength versus thickness

    I am afraid that I'm probably not going to give you the direct answer that you crave, but: superfinishing looks nice and may or may not help much I don't think that there is a simple relationship between film strength, film thickness, and viscosity (by simple here, I mean a relationship...
