Anyone know what grade of oil is recommended for the gearbox.
going to haul my box out on Sunday in the hope that it is just the clutch that is away.

Checked the castrol site and it said refer to manufacturer. Manufacturer only sells in 5 litre tub at £80 but box only takes 2 litres. Parts man wasnt able to tell me what grade it was.

Cheers John.

I have found on internet that some oil manufactureres are recommending 75-80w. I know that Castrol do that wattage for £10 per litre.

Where would I get the comma stuff?
