Properly sorted my MX5 box out aswell
I must also say, my box has not been the best from day 1 when it was rebuilt and fitted.
I am going to give it a bit more time and see how things go.
I do not put the blame on the Redline, at all. I do know the box is not that good.
Been saving the good box for the transplant. 8)
I changed to Liquimoly and my noisy box was sorted, smoother changes and silent.
You must check as there is 2 types of gear oil from Redline.
One is shock proof and one isnt.
What should the viscosity of the rb25 fatboy box oil be ? I am getting conflicting data but seems I may have too thick an oil in the box.
The shockproof stuff is probably a 350 weight oil if you ask me ..
I just drained Redline shock proof out of GTR gearbox and changed to 75w90 GL4.
Was not sure what oil was in box, but had very hard shifting with cold gearbox oil, so changed. 75w90 feels the same, slight better cold shifting, otherwise identical.
Cheers bud, all info welcome. I may have found my problem, contacted Clive at Redline and I have put the wrong oil into my box.
Mmm, at R220 a quart this is getting eina.I stuck the std. 75w90 into it which is also a Gl5 oil. Not good for our synchros.
Just got the correct oil, MT75w90 which I shall put in shortly.
I have one day old 75w90 Redline for someone that wants to do a diff oil change.Free/gratis and fo bugger all..Done all of 75km in my box.
So did Redline sent you the wrong oil?

No, I bought the wrong oil thinking I knew what I needed.

I normally just tell them the application and they sent me the right(good) stuff. What oil do you have in your new diff?
