Been driving that road in the EP for years, its class, will be the proving ground when mine is finally on the road.

Also strong Game of Thrones and Time Team territory!

But cleared well for a very enjoyable event indeed

Finally back home safe to the garage - car did me proud. 10 hard runs up the mountain in 2 days and an hour commute there and back each day without any issues

i tried a mix of redline shockproof and mt90 ...1 litre each in the box i recently took out of the car....it used to have an occasional crunch on 3rd gear (syncro worn) which that oil mix temporarily resolved till i took the box out for an overhaul

Doesn't it say shockproof oil shouldn't be used with syncros? Im looking for a good oil for my charade box to keep things sweet

thats the 250w one, they do a shockproof 140w for synchro boxes.

Which shockproof oil did you use?

Phil

i used redline heavy shockproof 75w-250

as said before, i used it as a band-aid for a crashing 3rd gear to minimise any noise/crunching until it was removed for a rebuild

1 litre mt90 and 1 litre heavy 75w-250 shockproof was my formula

i know it was not the best for my syncros in the long term, but it worked great in the short term

maybe the lightweight shockproof 75w-140 may be better suited to our gearbox??? as its listed under the manual transmission section

holly mo i never knew oil could make crunchy syncro go away

is that only a short term fix ( 1 year ) ??

Well we are talking oil at best that's nearly twice the normal viscosity - And more.

A normal heavy (non redline) 140w gear oil causes lay shaft drag and creeping of the car so it's not for everyone. On a set of rollers or axle stand you can warm her up for few minutes before trying to drive her.

But apparently the redline stuff removes the need and is much more useable when cold.
