All done, aside of reverse light wiring: car is running

Well where do I start..

WOW

It's an animal. Easily in the licence looser category! Really is an angry beast, drives great.

On the downside

the gearbox has got quite a prominent whine. Especially in first three gears...

Can someone confirm what oil type and amount goes in a manual box?

Thought I had a load in the shed but I don't...

Will try an oil change in the box, but I suspect it's knackered, and I'll have to change it next week

cheers

[blackviper90210]

you dont have luck at all 
if you want I can swap my box for your with out any cost if you collect from me 

btw
its that box from Robsey??
if so I dont think hi would sold knackred box to you any way

[RobseyMV6]

Sure it's not the DMF you hear, they do this, different sound to the auto's this might be the whine.

[JamesV6CDX]

not doubting robsey for one min guys please dont think that... These things happen!

I will change the box oil and ensure at correct level, drive it a bit and suck it and see

[05omegav6]

What mileage has your diff done? Autos deal with the torque differently, so giving it large without letting the set up bed in will highlight any weaknesses already present in the driveline

Couple of further qs: did you fit the box single handed? Easy enough to put a load the input shaft, bending it slightly also did you check the level before firing it up

Good effort BTW bout bloody time though

[JamesV6CDX]

yep fitted single handed, but nothing was forced, certianly not to point it would damage input shaft

yes, box had oil when fired up and driven...

Manual transmission oil :
 
EP80 CL4 original.. but after using it in winter , I decided Omegatoy was right .. 75W90 transmission oil better..
