Right lads being getting my self a CTS stage 2 box with quaife diff hoping to get it put in before central day. what oil is best or can i just get some ford stuff from work.

thanks lee

 

fully synthetic 75/90 is what cts recommend, for some reason they said to use anything as long as it wasn't mobil one lol.....used castrol in mine and never had any issues.

 

I put Morris oils FS75W/90in mine. Its about £30 for 5 litres and cts/gearboxman sell it.

I hope you have better luck than me. My CTS 2 is coming out and getting swapped with a standard box hopefully in time for central day. Why? Because after less than 100 miles in the car is whinning like a bitch on overrun. Bernies going to see whats gone wrong.

The diff is a treat though, you'll enjoy it

 

Put this in my cts2+ box as heard good things about it.Seems all good so far

thanks my box is just about dead now so realy need this box. i got a sale invoice off the lad i got the box from. is got stage 2 box but its also got No warranty against gear tooth breakage. so dose that mean the gears ar not shot peened

 

Yes, it's only the stage 2+ that is
Stage 2 is just a standard late BC box with the Quaife diff, no stronger than a normal box
Same as what i'm running!

 

i thought they had bigger bearings too

 

All late BC box's have the bigger bearings mate, you can tell by the 'core plug' at the end of the main shaft on the casing.
CTS just machine out the older casing to take the bigger bearings if they dont have any of the later ones.
But it isnt the bearings that fail mostly it's teeth stripping off the input shafts (hence the disclaimer on the receipt), the gearbox wil last longer with bigger bearings if it makes it to the point of bearing failure that is! lol
