Good gearbox with no know issues: Royal Purple Syncromax, Redline MT90, Motul Gear 300 (most expensive)

Good gearbox with minor crunch issue: Redline Shockproof Lightweight (very popular, I use it myself)

Rooted gearbox: Redline Shockproof Heavyweight

I'm not sure about Castrol to be honest, I've read people dropping their current oil for Castrol and it was worse than the old oil (some even putting the old oil back in)

my synchro's are pretty "chunky". going into 4th now sometimes grinds. sometimes i go to grab 3rd from 2nd and it gets jammed in the middle somewhere.. only when i go from 2nd to 3rd though.

should i try heavyweight first or lightweight?

also does anyone know how many litres you need? (manual 25 box)

Thanks.

I don't know about you guys, but i see the redline oil as a really expensive bandaid fix. By the sounds of it, all you's are really doing is hiding the fact that your gearbox is f**ked. I would rather spend what the redline oil costs on a rebuild kit/or a workshop rebuild if you don't know what you're doing. If the box was operating well it wouldn't matter what brand you used as long as it was the right grade.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
