Gearbox change down problem

Post by sup8pdct »

I have a 80 series 01/93 1hz poverity pack.
Any change down from 3rd to 2nd and 2nd to 1st is near impossiable unless I rev match the changedown.
I have heard that there is an oil addative for the gear box to fix this problem.
Gear box is due for an oil change anyway, so what is the best oil to use to reduce this problem? It was never an issue till i changed the oil last time.
