T5 Questions

Does anyone know
1. what oil is used.
2. does it use the same slave and cover as the LT77 with the Griff bell housing.

Leigh, need to be careful with the oil used - depends on internal spec as I understand. JR would I am sure be able to advise if you know the build spec.

Don't know the build spec.
Would have thought it's from a Griff road car as it had the V8 Bell housing.
Anything I can look for, for idea's I would use the oil that was in it, if there was any.

JR advises fully synthetic ATF because that was what the T5 was designed to use. I find that some times the gear change is a bit sloppy with ATF so I now use Redline MTF. Its much more positive now.

And I'm not going to get involved - as we use a mixture of fully synthetic ATF and 80/90's.
John Reid is the expert - talk to him.
It all depends on what you want to do with the box - sprints or longer races.
