Gremlin Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hmm.............. haynes manual you say ................ not that i know of, series boxes are splash lubricated unless its out of a stage 1 v8 which would be an lt95. Grem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 i've never seen a pump in a series g/box, only other poss way would be an electric pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 No series gearboxes except stage 1 v8 had oil pumps, and IMO would not benefit from one either as the design deficiencies were related to shaft flexing and poor synchro design. rather than lack of lubrication.

bill van snorkle Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Almost on this topic...How easy is it to add an oil cooler to an LT85 box ? On the LT85, unlike R380's, and LT77's there are no external ports from the oil pump. Even if there were I doubt the little gear type pump would have any reserve capacity to run oil through lines to and from an oil cooler. It's really only designed to lubricate the needle roller bearings that the gears on the mainshaft ride on. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomG Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 On the LT85 (20C) pump cover casting, noticed there's a small threaded plug sealed in place. Not entirely sure what this is for. If you did run an oil cooler line from it, you'd need to bore holes in the bellhousing and not sure where the oil return would go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
