Post by seaeagle »

servos usually sell manual trasmission oil or gear oil.. same thing, even engine oil is probably better than no oil to get you home!

Are you sure it's not a universal, your description of the noise makes me think I'd look there first. But you've probably already solved the mystery/problem by now.... :cool: :cool:

Almost any oil will get you out of trouble, I have run Auto Trans in manuals etc.

Longer term the Hypoid needs Extreme Pressure oil due to the shearing nature of the hypoid.

rear bearings are easy, but an absolute PRICK to get the retainer rings off....
