I've just dropped the oil from my gearbox.
What oil is best to put back in the box?
I was going to get the box rebuilt to try and cure the layshaft rumble at idle but after speaking to a specialist he recommended dropping the oil and inspecting it for shrapnel.
The magnetic plug had a little sludge on but no chunks or teeth.
Has anyone ever got the bottom of the layshaft noise and how to cure it.
Its £300 to get the box rebuilt but I'm not convinced its money well spent if there is no evidence of bearing damage.
How much oil does the box hold? Fill to spill?
