gearbox

[Nik da Greek]

It\'s worth changing the gear oil and the diff oil, especially if you\'re not too sure of the service history of the car. When I did them on my previous FD, the gear oil seemed ok (though it did help with the graunching gearbox slightly afterwards) but the diff oil was like tar! It didn\'t so much pour out the drain hole as plop out in one big sticky lump!

is the gear and diff oil the same type??

Can\'t remember the actual specs of the oils. I had my mechanic do the changes as part of a service. I got the grades from a users manual I\'ve got on CD and got him to order the oils in through his supplier. There\'s loads of manuals online here http://foxed.ca/foxed/index.php?page=rx7manual hopefully should be able to find the info somewhere in that lot!

The ratings for the FB are slightly different for gearbox and diff - 75W 90 in both but API GL4 or 5 in one and API GL5 in the other. So I use fully synth API GL5 in both. Check book for FD as I have no knowledge of them.
