Gearbox Oil For R32 Gtst

[jakez88]

about to buy some gearbox oil for my r32 gtst and went to the guys at super cheap...i know that some people ehre recommend using 75w-90 full synth...so would this be good to use for my car which is a daily and will never see a track day?

at super cheap there was some nulon in 75w-90 which was semi synth so just wondering if this would work well with my gears being very notchy from 1st-3rd?

the guy there told me to put in 80w-140 because of the notchyness of my gearbox and just wanted to make sure thats o.k cause its far from what most people recommend?

can anyone else recommend something around the $40 bracket for our cars?

Castrol syntrans l think it was, it was recommended to me by our castrol supplier and l tried it in my old R33 GTST and it made a noteable difference, mainly with fast shifts(no more grinding) its more expensive then normal but worth it. Not sure what the grade was, but close to factory specs.

hope that helps

can anyone else tell me of any good gearbox oils for a r32 gtst with a tad notchy gearbox? will the nulon 75w-90 semi synth go o.k?

castrol vmx80 or penrite manual gear oil 80

correct grade for these boxes, designed for boxes that are notchy when cold, i.e. nissan rb gearboxes.

if you have problems when it's hot, most likely the syncros and baulk rings are stuffed and only a rebuild will help.

vmx80 did the trick for my notchy 2nd gear. No more notchy 2nd now, even when cold.
