I drained out the Mobil Delvac Synthetic Manual Transmission fluid 50 and refilled with
Citgo, Mystik JT-7 85w-140 gear oil, which I've run in all of my rear ends and manual
transmissions for many decades now, and guess what................
NO MO GRINDING THE GEARS!!!!!
Old Bluebelle shifts like a new transmission again. I’ve driven it a few hundred miles
mostly around town since the switch just to prove out the difference and it shifts as
smooth as silk syncros working just as they should
So from my personal experiance with a brand new SM420 rebuld, stay away from the
synthetics in the gearbox and stick with the old tried and true multigrade gear oils.
