Iwannaturbo Member 32 Member For: 15y 11m 25d Gender: Male Posted 10/01/13 07:06 AM Share Posted 10/01/13 07:06 AM (edited) Just a thought, has anyone tried Synforce cruiser gear oil 80 in their manual? I used to run this in my landcruiser which suffered from crunching and rollover noise even after a full rebuild. It shut it up and shifts were spot on. It may be considered "too heavy" for the falcon box, but couls be worth a shot Edited 10/01/13 07:07 AM by Iwannaturbo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83374-is-this-noise-normal/page/2/#findComment-1347462 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was under the car clearing rubber out (oh the joys of quarter miles) and spotted oil on the diff. So will be up there soon.Will try and remember to post up what they say about the chatter.Also seem to have a lot of driveline lash, ans find myself riding the clutch a little on shifts to soften it all up.

On 29/12/2012 at 6:17 AM, God666 said: Yep, my FG manual sounds like Jimi Hendrix at idle. OED666, what exactly does preload mean and with insufficient preload, what is actually happening in there?To eliminate any end-float in the cluster, input and mainshaft, "pre-load" is put on the bearings. This is adjusted by shimming under the bearings until they are correct. The transmission is stripped bare and re-assembled in pieces with the shimming done on the main components.

What's wrong with the new formula?Castrol changed the dye (and that's all they claim to have changed) in Transmax Z, from green to a light brown. Ever since this change, we have had shift quality issues with TR-6060's, as they have brass synchros. The earlier T56 has carbon synchros, and the newer transmaz is fine. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83374-is-this-noise-normal/page/2/#findComment-1353341 Share on other sites More sharing options...
