Hi guys

It has been a while, and for those who doesn't know, I have managed to kill another 606. The new engine is on the way, and this time I will limit it to 200bhp.

 

While waiting for the new engine, I have to rebuild my gearbox. All new syncro's, new 2nd and new bearings. 400+ bhp and 35" wheels do not play with a 300GD gearbox. My question is what oil to put in it. It is a 1991 5 speed manual 300GDS.

 

Also, my central diff lock let me down a week before the engine popped. It just doesn't engage.

 

Thanks

Re: Gearbox oil

Hi

Centre diff lock will be simple i think

Check hoses, plastic pipes to transfer box for splits if your g is vacuum and pressure

The transfer box is a simple diaphragm to engage gears. It cant really go wrong unless an air leak or split rubber

Its an easy fix im sure

The transfer boxes are boheamoth from when i stripped mine so im certain nothing is broken

Have you ill treated it????? lol
