davidwort 0 Posted September 7, 2007 ... The sulphur gives gear oils their characteristic smell.... Always wondered why that was, the fully synthetic stuff like VW's own more expensive gear oil doesn't smell at all, I guess the engineering of the synthetic does the job another way. Interesting read, hard to find much coherent info on the web about gear oils. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monzablau16v 0 Posted September 8, 2007 Yup its a normal Corrado VR6 gearbox. I am just getting it rebuilt as its done 130K and could probably do with a bit of TLC. While it is all apart I am getting a Peloquin LSD and 3.68 FD put in... taa H Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oilman 0 Posted September 9, 2007 Synthetic 75w-90, something like the Silkolene Syn5 75w-90 will be happy with an after market diff too. Cheers Guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
