Was that with TR6 or TR7?

That's interesting, since supposedly they switched to recommending gear oil for exactly the same reason (but about 15 years
earlier).

As far as I know, they never stopped officially recommending gear oil for the TR6 gearbox.  If it really caused such severe
problems, you'd think they'd fix that in the 15 or so years (and 5 different car models) that they kept recommending gear oil.
