jameslwt Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 AQM, ATF, MTF 94 I've got 5 litres of Comma spec stuff for the PAS box, can I just throw this in? I went through this last week as it seems the Haynes manual might not be accurate......(But to be fair it does only go up to 1995 vehicles?????? so that might be why) Up to 1995, use ATF post 1995, use MTF HTH James Quote
ThreeSheds Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Up to 1995, use ATFpost 1995, use MTF HTH James I seem to recall reading (on this forum?) that it's not dependent on the year of the vehicle - but that the service instruction changed in 95.. . Or was it all a dream? TS Quote
western Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 LR say MTF94 can be used in LT77,LT77S & R380 manual gearboxes without problems. or stick with ATF [the normal red fluid] Quote
rick Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 a proper manual trans fluid does protect bearings and gears better unless Arctic temps are to be experienced. FWIW, here no gearbox reconditioner will provide warranty if ATF is used. Quote
Tiger Posted May 22, 2007 Author Posted May 22, 2007 Taken from Ashcrofts site. What oil should I use in my LT77 gearbox? We recommend ATF Dextron 2 or 3. So I'm going with that as they should know, unless its a cunning plan to get more work mwahhhahahaha!!! Quote

Winnet Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Evolution1 This is the stuff I used in my LT77 gearbox. It is expensive but it makes an amazing difference and well worth it. G. Quote
ThreeSheds Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Evolution1This is the stuff I used in my LT77 gearbox. It is expensive but it makes an amazing difference and well worth it. G. A difference like being able to get into first when stationary without selecting another gear first? Do you think it's worth me giving it a try or is my box beyond hope? TwoSheds Quote
Winnet Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 My gearbox was awkward to get into second (usual LT77 problem) and it cured that and helped improve the whole box. My latest LR 90 a '92 200tdi has a LT77 fitted as well and it feels sticky as well. I have just ordered more Evolution 1 and am pretty confident that it will make the box far smoother. I also found the box continued to improve over the following few weeks. G. Quote
JimAttrill Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Basically anything is better than ATF, especially from a wear point of view. I am surprised at Ashcroft's recommending ATF Dexron II, though. Maybe they need the work? Quote
