Hi Techtorque,

This feels like sending a message into space, expecting silence......

If anybody is there, please advise what oils to put in Defender transmission system, Diffs, Transfer box and gearbox.

Regards,

Franscois

PS: Is there perphas a facebook or whatsapp group that is more active with technical advice?

Bertus.

I am also struggling with this question. There was a main steam stating that it is only ATF for the main box. Going through Rave I found that it gave a gearbox oil, (OLD Specs) and mentioned that to top up use ATF.

Two years ago they fillied my gearbox with ATF only, and it is not the same. I can concur that this is the answer.

I had great success with the following:

- Gearbox: Castrol Syntrans 75W90
- diffs and transfer case: Castrol Syntrax 75W140

Almost resolved the 3rd to 4th synchromesh problem on the LT85 gearbox.
Also significantly dropped the heat generated by the drivetrain.
