[Rovernet] SD1 gearbox in my 3500S P6

[Ben Saunders]

Bill,
The book calls for Hypoid 75W but I think the jury is still out on what oil
is best. Most SD1 owners switched to Dexron III and have had little
problems. The thicker oils cause the pump to fail so do be careful. I am
trying to fit a ZF 4HP22 in my 3500S.

Hi all..........
                   Somehow i got deleted from the forum, but its good to be
back...................I have an SD1 LT77 5 speed in one of my 3500S
P6.............I know we've talked about this before but i'll ask
again..............The gearbox is not smooth by any stretch of the
imagination and balks at going into gear a lot............The clutch is iffy
also  and i will replace the clutch and plate in the
winter...............When i got the car i think it had auto transmission
fluid in it..........i did some investigating and tried Redline MT90
....others said they loved it but it doesn't seem to be as smooth as it was
so i'd like to try something else..............does anyone else have any
ideas and maybe if i go back to auto trans fluid what type......Dexron or
Ford F like in my 3500S auto.
Another is does anyone know where i can get it rebuilt if the new fluid and
clutch don't help.............i love the car but am determined to make this
5 speed work right........I'm in Ontario Canada

ThankBill Robertson
