h100vw 0 Posted December 5, 2004 It's a 17mm allen key. The oil you are looking for is REDLINE. REDEX is a petrol treatment. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted December 5, 2004 You can get the 17mm allen key from Halfords- think they call it a gear oil key or something like that. I used Slick 50 gearbox treatment with 2 bottles of Castrol SMX-S, which you can get from larger Halfords. Check out the how-to guide for this- it's very helpful :wink: By the way, some peolpe don't recommend using the Slick-50 treatment, although my gear change has never been better :D If I was going to do it now, don't think I'd use it.

It's alright in the Gearbox as there are no oilways for it to block! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
