Hi All,
My gearbox is not as smooth as my last wedge, which at the time had half the miles as the sx this maybe why......
However a bit fo TLC might be all it needs

I have access to a hoist
Cheers

Cheers guys
First I'd better find out what oils are available here in Australia, but thanks for all your suggestions. It's not undriveable but my last wedge was a lot smoother....... I wish I knew what was in it!
It does improve when warm, I guess we should remember these gearboxes are 20 plus years old.
Thanks

Right, been looking around......
all the oils are named differently out here.......SO

please have a look through and compare to the SMX S and that should give me a good idea of which one to go for.
I cant find anything named Difflock here in Oz,Ill look into some of the Aussie oils.
Thanks

Castrol Syntrans 75W-85
For competition applications where superior synchroniser performance is required. Also recommended for passenger car and light commercial vehicle transmission, transaxles and transfer cases. SAE 75W-85, GL-4
would i be right in thinking this is the Australian version of SMX S, second one down on the left on my link

cor blimey, wot a debate ive caused
I have read all comments several times now and thankyou all
I THINK what ill do is......as I am in a warmer climate and those cold mornings are not an issue and I have no idea what is in it currently, I will try the SMX S Aussie equivalent castrol syntrax 75w 9O or syntrans 75w 85,would I be right in thinking the latter is closer to SMX S. that way it will set me a benchmark if no good ill try one or even two of the other options if still no good, well ill cross that bridge..............as I said it perfectly drivable just a bit annoying
cheers

I contacted these people and they sent me all the info, they are able to send it to Australia for me....It seems quite good, very tempting to give it a tryhttp://shop.difflock.com/difflock-evolution-fully-...
