Yes, I've read the warnings from him about the high GL spec oils in the rear end as well. Interestingly, it's exactly the opposite with my Fiat 124. The Fiat transmission synchro's dissolve (supposedly), while the rear end shims have no problem.
I've no direct experience or observable data to support or refute either claim. Though with the Fiat transmission problem, I've seen a number of direct complaint posts on the problem, as opposed to the "I've heard" type posts I usually see from Triumph owners. Regardless, it would be wise to seek out the proper GL spec oil for the transmission and rear end. >>> gary durham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/05/02 10:50AM >>> Nolan, Thanks for the info. Recently I read a comment by Mr. John Kipping virtually 'speaking' of this. Must have been on the NASS site where he hangs out. Anyway, he had stated that, while this info is correct, it would not effect the synchro's in the gearbox in any way, but rather, one must NOT use it in the dif. If I read him correctly, he states (in essence) that it's fine for the gearbox, but not in the dif. /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
