Gear box oil

[politeperson]

I changed my gearbox oil for Redline MTL90 once, on an all synchro box.

I immeadiately got crunching in 2nd and third gears.

I changed it back to thick old EP90. The syncho action returned. All fixed. Been perfect for the last few years now.

I also had an oil leak which i fixed quickly without taking the gearbox out.

The selector fork o rings had failed. They can be replaced with the box in situ. Take the top off. The speedo drive o ring was also also loose and leaking.

Both items replaced on a Sunday morning, no bother and little cost.

No leaks now

Ralph:

You are correct...I meant to say Redline MTL...that’s what I’m using in my Moss. Thanks for catching that.

Apologies to all.
