Still a tiny bit of rollover noise but nothing to worry about at all now. Pretty stoked, anyone with the same issue try the redline stuff. https://vimeo.com/139519103Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sd1800 Member 51 Member For: 13y 11m 28d Posted 13/10/15 03:19 AM Share Posted 13/10/15 03:19 AM I used to run Lightweight Shockproof in my XR5 and it was a great oil in terms of shift quality.I did lots of research as to the best oil to use in these boxes. Not saying the Redline wasn't a good option, but the general consensus was the Mainlube "154 Synthetic Solid Boundary E P Gear oil SAE 75w90" stuff was the best if you could afford the extra $$$. I also put a magnetic sump plug on mine and filled it to the 4.8l. It's pretty much quiet as a mouse now unless you give the throttle a good prod in neutral with the clutch out. But who does that in the real world...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjacobs Member 143 Member For: 11y 1m 18d Gender: Male Posted 02/08/16 11:53 PM Author Share Posted 02/08/16 11:53 PM Little update, done about 10000kms now on this gearbox oil so it will be getting changed in the next 1000kms, the rattle did return after my initial feedback, it stayed quiet for about 3-5k kms then slowly returned, now it back to rattling like it did on the stock oil. I spoke to Malwood and he recommended the standard mineral dex 3 and use 4.2L which I think fills up the box a bit more, change every 2nd engine oil change. At the time I chose not to go with that and to try the super expeno redline stuff. With Nulon smooth shift additive. I think now I might try going back to the dex 3. Another issue I've been having as I daily my car is cooking my clutch fluid quite regularly, even being easy on the clutch and never sitting with the pedal down it still will heat up exsessivley in traffic to the point where sometime the friction point will move. And I'll have to do a bleed to fix it. Just another thing to consider if your thinking about daily driving an xtreme twin plate haha. Anyway that's just a little update.
