LT77 Gearbox oil
Discussion
Hi Adam / mrzigazaga,
Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, although interesting as it is.....
It is mentioned late on Castrol Syntrans, would this be "Castrol Syntrans FE 75W fully synthetic"?
I had little to no oil in my gearbox so put in some cheap stuff to primarily use as a flush. Although I had/have no intention of leaving it in, I have no chance of getting out of first gear to second gear until hot.
However, I am due to drain down soon, and with a lot of threads on forums opinion is divided, and due to this becomes somewhat muddied waters, as to best choice.
It also becomes clear that probably the state of the gearbox comes into play, even those that have been freshly rebuilt.
You seem to have tried many options are you currently running with Castrol Syntrans?
Many thanks
Ray

This looks a lot like the difflock product:

I haven't tried it myself, just making you aware of this possibility.

Wonder if it the same as this, with a considerable markup! https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-965-fuchs-titan-atf-4...https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/evo1-titan-atf-4...

I did hours of research on this and it would seem that it is thought to be rebranded Fuchs ATF, i bought some and it came in a branded Fuchs bottle with a different label.
I used redline MTL in an LT77 in a kit car as that seemed a better choice than ATF which was never supposed to be anywhere near this box.

When I had my Porsche 911SC, they always recommended Swepco 201. It wasn't cheap but the changes were dramatically improved. They were rubbish to start with though so that wasn't difficult. Maybe it would be OK in an LT77?

I'm still on the Mobil cocktail (see beginnig) and it's doing very well.
Yes, I saw that Adam. Funnily enough, I had a very similar issue to you when I arrived a BBWF last weekend, after going through several long traffic jams - I couldn't get reverse in the car park. Left it to cool a while and the gear lever still wouldn't move left. KKson then applied considerable pressure and finally it went into reverse. Reverse loosened up further in the evening and has been fine since. So I can only think something in sticking in the box when really hot.
Just wanted to confirm the Molyslip you used, is it this one? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Holts-GM6RA-Molyslip-Gear...
