[Rovernet] Molyslip in OD?

[Michael Pellow]

Hi Bill
O/D unit is a single gear planetary gear box that runs a hydraulic pump 
running continuously .when you operate the solenoid it blocks the small 
bleed hole so that the friction clutch locks the planetary gear so 
engaging the gear change.
Molyslip would destroy this and, as it coats the cones with molybdenum 
disulfide, it would not be able to be reversed !!!!

Moly is brilliant  in engines straight diffs but no where where any 
friction is required.
