LT77 Gearbox oil

[BlueWedgy]

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

I'm running Syn-trans fully synthetic, I had it in my last (well worn box) and it's ex griff 500 replacement.

No issues with hot or cold shifting or nasty noises.

Hi Batman400,

Great thanks I may give that a whirl. See if it improves.

Many thanks
