hi

Does it change the sound of the gearbox of have standart oil or 75-90 sintetic oil ?

Now I go synthetically and now it sounds as some gearbox of motorsport.

 

Did you put enough in?

I use the same rating Mobil oil in my gearbox and its silent apart from 2nd and 3rd as they are straight cut

 

yes i put aprox 1,5 l.

 

in what car m8 hope its not a cozzy as they take more

 

sapphire cosworth 4wd

 

Workshop manual says 1.2L for the gearbox (or 0-5mm below oil level check plug)

Transfer box 0.5L (or 18mm below oil level check plug)


The std 4x4 gearbox is best off with the recommended Ford oil. I only run different as that's what my gearbox builder advised (on a Quaife gearset).

 

yes aprox 1,2l of 75-90 penzzoil and it makes a big noise like a bearing....

 

You did the transfer box aswell?

 

the noise on my gearbox usually changes every couple of months.........it starts to go crack...smash...grind....whine....and then crunch........

 

forgot to say......i use ford mt75 oil

 

costly

 

at the transfer i have put 0,5l of the ford liquid

 

how are you getting on with the box, i have a pd box now for noddy but not got round to fitting it yet

 

Loving it mate sounds the bollocks

Mind you i've not used it in anger yet

 

you taking it on track anytime soon?

 

Still a track virgin hope to change that this year

 

thats the spirit

 

what about of my question?

 

It only sounds whining when off the gas and It also vibrates when acelerating and turning right.

 

ups

 

 

you need to use the specific mt75 oil mate, that'll take ths ound away

 

i will try

 

and go and find a ford guy who knows what the original oil is, not the newer stuff that ford says will do the trick (the same trick they used to flog all their 10w30 oil for every engine nowadays)

 

well well well well

i come to put original ford e90 mt75 oil but the sounds is here.

i know that every cars round here (spain) with castrol 75/90 and they dont make noise.........

 

are you sure it's not just a coincidence an mt75 can break at any time!

 

looks like u need a new box
