![]() Engine oil used to be called for in inexpensive synchromesh transmissions because it seemed to get the synchro's spinning just right, at least in the B's. I have not seen any of that particular substance around in a long time. For the record, the B manual, written in the 1960's, calls for Castrol XL 20W/50. Some people on this forum like to quote the Bible whenever they gets the chance. Does anyone have any experience with using this in their rear end? I'm looking at a possible transmission swap in the future both due to this and the stripped speedometer gear, so I'm really just buying time until I have the time/inclination to do that.Īnd, as an added question-I have two quarts of Valvoline 80W90 sitting in my garage waiting for me to also work the drain plugs out of the differential. I get a small amount of grind shifting into both 3rd and 4th, and have been advised that an MT-specific lube might combat with this at least somewhat. Has anyone used these in their B transmission?įor additional background, this is just a straight 4-syncho, no OD box. In the mean time, I've been reading about some of the claimed advantages of using a manual transmission specific lube-in most cases something in the Red Line MT line(MT-90 being the most common suggestion). That's also what I used a month or so back to top up the oil when I checked the dipstick and found it dry(I added most of a quart to the transmission). In any case, I'd bought enough Castrol 20W50 for both the engine and transmission, so had planned to used that in line with the Hayne's and other references I've found. I'm still putting off doing a transmission oil change in my car, mostly because the last time I tried to do it I couldn't get the drain plug out and have been letting my daily doses of PB Blaster work their magic before I get the car up and try again(I'm waiting on a few other parts for the next time I get my car up also).
