Well, The gear box is not really too noisy, (about average for a 90K mile
box) It is second gear that seems to kind of crunch when up shifting or down
shifting. When I rescued the car from a DA PO, I drained and refilled the
engine, gearbox, and rear end. The gearbox only had about a pint of oil drain
out. I used 10W50 GTX to fill the box and will drain it in few miles and
replenish. I thought maybe Teflon additive may help. Would Teflon additive
lube all of the parts, or couse any problems ? BTW, engine oil was good, rear
end was low with a clogged vent.

why are you interested in trying to do this? a drain and fill is probably
all you need. if it's that noisey, rather than keep pressing on with it
you had better tear it down and see what is wrong before it gets even more
expensive.....
chuck.
upon filling it pay attention to proper quantity of required
lubricant...overfilling leads to lubricating the clutch disc.....c.
Subject: Gearbox Oil Additive
> Here is a question for all who may care to answer. Is there any type of
oil additive, or maybe a heavier oil viscosity recomended for a 1275 gear
box that has seen beter times, and has been run low on oil for god knows how
long. I would also like to flush out the gearbox while it is still in the
car. I have used GUNK Motor flush in older motors with success, but don't
know how it would work in a tranny. Does anyone have a lead on magnetic
plugs for the gearbox?
