Stiff gear change with new oil ?

Post by GUEEY »

Need Advise.

Did a Gear box oil change on my GU patrol a few months ago.
Bought a standard type 90 grade gear oil.
the gear shifts when cold are very tight, only happened with the new oil.
have i used the wrong oil ?
What oil is recommended ?

Cheers Grant

i just had my clutch done, and we put 90w penrite oil in, and i have noticed the last few days that until its right up to temp that the gear changes are extremly tight, i might have to go and ask for some 75-90 hehehehehe gota love the freebies!

Changed my gear oil tonight!
used Castrol 75-90.
Shifts like a dream!
thanks for the replies and advise, i rechecked the old bottle of gear oil i used before and found a had actually put in a 85-140 hypoid (what a Numb nut!) any wonder it was a bastard to shift!

thanks agian. Grant
