Tom,
Of course it will fall apart now that you have been informed. Anyway
just a note. In the Kippings catalog there is a warning:
"Use only gear oil to GL4 specification for all diffs.
Additives in GL5 gear oil attack the copper thrust
washers fitted to all units"
While this warning is for differentials, I have don't know what is
inside the gearbox but it is always possible it could effect the gearbox
also. Better safe than sorry.
