What oil for a W5X gearbox with worn synchro's?

Postby cat007 » Mon Sep 07, 2009 9:41 am

My W box has new bearings in - but the synchro's are worn so it was very crunchy going into 3rd especially (just listen to my Puke videos)

I was using a Caltex MTM fluid, but I cant remember for the life of me what it was.

What would people suggest I throw at it?

Car will be used on the track and is making around 240rwkw

Cheers

Thanks for that

You're the 2nd person to suggest that

Don't suppose you, or anyone on here has any hookups/contacts to get it? I tried BNT, but they wanted $45 per litre!

Does anyone else have any contacts at BNT or anywhere so I don't end up paying $45 a litre for the stuff??
