Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Lads,

This maybe old news but my manual NJ was really hard to change into second gear (snag, grownch, grind) when the box was cold (morning)

So I put some Castrol Syntrans 75W/85 gear box oil in and it totally cured the problem

the oil is fully synthetic (looks like weak honey) and costs about $17.00 a litre but worth it!!

Hi Ado

I'm glad it worked for you. I recently filled mine with a Valvoline 75W90 synthetic blend, and I'm very disappointed. I'm considering going to the factory recommended Castrol (80-M ?)

Cheers,

Scott

Scott,

the factory recommends that oil but it also recommends the syntrans if you are working in extreme environments or have cold synchro binding problems - thats how I got onto the syntrans stuff!
