[Fot] synthetic gear lube

[Scott Janzen]

I run Redline MT 85 in my TR6 gearbox, no shifting issues, and Redline 75-90 gear oil in the diff (welded).

I have a lot of experience using synthetic lubricants in racing engines, transmissions and differentials. There are lots of advantages such as the differential running cooler etc. however the limited slip probably will not function as effectively. With regards to transmissions it has been my experience that with synthetic lube installed the syncros do not function as effectively and shifts will be slower, you’ll have to double clutch more then parts will fail.

i've heard of good l with lightweight shock proof in the transmission as well.  Maybe a quick note to Jamie Houseman (racegearbox.com <http://racegearbox.com/>) as he is the T50 Guru!
