Gut instinct says that when the clutch was done the wrong oil was used to refill the box. Drain the gearbox and refill it with the correct oil. Sorry I can't help as to what you should use but some expert will be along shortly to impart that knowledge I am sure.

Easily fixed though and so long as you address it in a timely manner no damage done.

If its like the early disco ones i think it was supposed to have auto transmition fluid in it Paul 1987 RR 3.5efi > drained the main box oil yesterday seemed to be rather red in colour so > maybe they put atf or some sort of synthetic in ! hasnt made a lot of > difference yet but time will tell ! >If its like the early disco ones i think it was supposed to have auto >transmition fluid in it the book says all the LT77s and R380s run on ATF. However, the local garage put synthetic SAE75 in 'em, and they seem to work OK. > the book says all the LT77s and R380s run on ATF.

They shift a lot nicer on the synthetic 75 weight oil, but will sometimes baulk on the synchros when they are really cold (sub zero). SignatureEMB change two to the number to reply |
