Gl5 has way more sulphur and phosphorus additives that can hurt the bronze and copper in syncros, so unless the manufacturer says otherwise Gl5 should not be used in a synchronized manual transmission, and I believe the transmission in this smart for two has synchromesh rings like a standard manual.
After driving these for a bit you do get a feel for the shifting and what it does with different throttle inputs. Think some people have also figured out how to teach it to shift a bit better, possibly with a Delphi clone depending on exact model. If it's jerky when setting off then the clutch actuator probably needs taking of, cleaning and regreasing. Evilution is an incredible resource for these.
Drove OTR for over 20 years, but lost count of how many trucks. Best tool for removing junk vinyl lettering . . . Ronsonol and a fingernail . . . and it removes the goo too 😊
Very nice you are doing big things with small number of subscribers but your channel will grow one day.
Thanks!
Most people don’t have GL4 because GL5 surpasses it and is readily available

Appreciate the info! I got the clutch to engage smoothy by adjusting the actuator so it drives pretty good. That being said I very rarely drive it.
you hooked me to a subscription with this one. 🙂
Nice video, they all shift strange - just like my 1.2 automated manual fiat 500.
Cool!!
How do you get at the air filter on it?
where are your paddle shifters?? That makes shifting way better
This one has a manual mode on the floor shifter I've used a bit, does help out you're right
Was the car equipped with power steering if not how did you install it?
Love your build man❤️💪
Yes it came with it, and thanks!
Nice 👍
😍💯👍
Har hatt smart 450 og 451 diesel med bare problemer. Jeg syns det er rart at Mercedes med sit gode navn og rykte kan være med å lage noe så dårligt.

That's good info, thanks!
how much did u cost u alltogether?
About the same as a non broken one costs, so it wasn't worth it financially but it was a fun project
