Crunching gears
My t5 box has crunching gears, anyone got any ideas for a simple solution, currently filled with dextron 3 atf,have heard some people use hypoid oil is it worth a try?

My mt75 did 36k from new and then detonated but that was near 500 bhp that killed it

My opinion with gearboxes is go big time and don't spare the money, do it once and do it right. See what Bara recommends.
