Saff 4x4 gearbox whine
Hi there all. Ive got a whining noise in first gear when im pulling away put the rest of the gears are ok. What causes the noise. Do you think if i change the gearbox oil it will make a difference. Or is the gearbox fooked.

What grade of oil do u use in them. Can you use 75/90 semi synthetic. If not what is the special oil that people use then.

It's available from ford I have a couple of bottles spare (not for sale). Its called
MT75 5-speed transmission oil, and that's exactly what it says on the bottle. White bottle blue print and writing DONT PUT ANYTHING ELSE in it.
hope this helps.

erm drain is the lowest and fill its the highest. needs a torx bit if I remember right. It's the torx screw at about 1pm on a clock if your looking at the box from under the car towards the front.
