gear oil cdt

RPWC · 23rd September 2011, 18:25

Been advised to change my gear oil to fully synthetic,due to a noise in the gearbox. The manual recommends texaco mtf94, been to a local motor factor,who ordered me some,but its not the same, its carlube epw75 hypoid gear oil ,fully synthetic.
Will this be ok,or does it have to be MTF94

its a whine,that only occurrs when clutch is pressed ,similar to picking up engine noise through an unsuppressed car radio,it increases with the revs.

Only when clutch is pressed ? so ,in my opinion that's rather clutch bearing related ...

As Mike says, the insides of the gearbox don't move when you de-clutch.

Must be the slave cylinder cos the bearing on that starts to spin when you dis -engauge the clutch.
