Best Gearbox Oil To Use

Flash · Post by **Flash** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 5:50 am

Normal driving the gearbox changes through the gears pretty smoothly but notice when changing fast and at hi revs it will always crunch. Had my gearbox checked out a while ago and the guy told me it looked brand new. What gearbox oil do you guys use or could it be another problem, ie; timing of the gear change etc?

I use 80w/90 with a tube of Nulon G70 treatment, makes it a bit easier to change gears when cold.

Thats just absurd. However running double valve springs in the gearbox is a little trick I picked up.

But failed to say they make the clutch pedal heavier. :roll:
For that reason alone its best not to follow his advice.

I'm not sure if you guys have royal purple down there, but so far, it seems good. A lot of guys on sqc recommend it. I'm running 75w90, and it shifts a little easier, but my box is thrashed, from all the runs I did at the strip last year. Sincros are pretty well shot, and it needs new bearings..

Merlin,

are you sure? I used self tapping screws through the side of the gearbox casing. It leaks a bit but the springs stays in. Try that.

How much oil do you need to buy to fill your gearbox and ditto with the diff?

Check to be sure but I think you will find diff oil is different to gearbox oil, it is for LSD anyway.
