Souster Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Has anyone tried the lucus gear oil stabiliser in their defender gearbox. As i am struggling to get second gear when its cold and it allready has MTF94 so i though i might give this a go... http://www.lucasoil.co.uk/products.php?page=products&subpage=product&product=12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 well my lt77 is rather hard to get 2nd when cold. I was recommended an oil change and activ8. You tried a normal oil change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souster Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Yeah did an oil change about 500 miles ago and changed to mtf94. Allthough i hadnt drove it before i changed to mtf so dont know weather it had a postive effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 or change to Difflocks EVO gear oil, lots have had good results with awkward gear changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souster Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Yeah i might give that a go. Should i try ATF do you think (as its cheaper), as its apparently thinner so would it be better when the gearbox is cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 R380 was designed for MTF94, so I wouldn't no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
