Greetings, listers--
I have been off the listserve for a while, so please excuse any
redundant questions that have been recently answered.
To bring you up to date: I am in the process of a ground up restoration
of my 1974 TR6, including a replacement frame and body. I now have new
seals in the differential and new u-joints on the axles and driveshaft.
The transmission will soon be returned with a late model overdrive
fitted.
I would like to hear your experiences with gearbox and differential
fluid, and grease for axle and driveshaft splines. It has been
recommend I should use 90 wt. GL4 gear oil in both the diff and gear
box; non-moly grease recommended on the axle splines. Has anyone used a
synthetic oil in the diff and/or gearbox? Is there such a thing as
"breaking in" a rehabbed gearbox/diff? If so, do I need to use a
thinner oil? Any experience with something other to lubricate axle
splines?
I have read the comments on the Buckeye Triumphs website and some were
for GL4 and some for synthetics. Your "real world" experience would be
most appreciated. Thanks.
