I ran atf in my not-Healey for about ten years and the box was
noisier, leaked more and took a long time to spin down to engage the
unsynchronised 1st gear. The synchro action on 2 and 3 is considerably
better though, particularly when cold. Went back to Redline
conventional transmission oil and it seems to be a better compromise.
The Tremec gearbox has a lot of large gears spinning over in there so
I'd imagine ATF has an advantage with reduced viscosity drag plus less
ability to lubricate the synchroniser cone during shifting. 1980s
Japanese 5 speed transaxles had the same issue and used ATF to improve
gear shifting.
ATF will likely have detergents in it so may stir up all that brass
sludge which accumulates in the OD cavities in an old gearbox.

The subject of gearbox oils has be discussed on this list more than once.
I am not advocating the use of gear oil in these boxes but the subject is
sure to be raised again..
In the interests of saving some band width a couple of points.
1. No one has ever reported seeing any evidence of Extreme Pressure
(EP) additives damaging the bronze syncro rings in our gearboxes.
2. Laycock DeNormanville, the manufacturer of our overdrive units DO
NOT specify what lubricant is used in their overdrive units, they leave
that up to the manufacturer of the gearbox to which it is attached and
shares its lubricant. EP oils will not adversely affect the overdrive
unit, in fact 80/90 gear oil was the factory recommendation for the TR6
with either type of overdrive "A" or "J".
Now back to regularly scheduled program :-)

30wt non detergent.
Drips? Hard to tell but I don't think so. Certainly no more than before.
Gear change/overdrive??......just about noticeable improvement on previous
20/50.
Better for the gearbox's internals? The jury remains out on that one!
Worth it? Well there's nothing earth shatteringly different. Do it if you'r=
e
draining anyhow. Or if you are having sluggish OD changes...might help.
Overall observations:- 1) make sure that you've got the filter and the
magnets. Doesn't make much difference what oil you use if they're missing.
2) Consider swapping the mad notched drain plug monstrosity for the earlier
one with the spanner/socket friendly hex. Once that's done, the whole
process becomes much easier.
Steve's right.....this topic is a real Golden Oldie.
You'll have noticed that threads related to the choice of oils brings out
some fairly spirited remarks!?

Carb or Brake Cleaner will do the trick and isn't necessarily banned in
California. I think some brake cleaners are banned but I'm pretty sure you
can still get carb cleaner in CA.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Gearbox oil
If there are bronze/brass baulk/synchro rings in the gearbox it is best
to be on the safe side and not use EP oils that contain halogens F, Cl,
Br, I as these may attack the bronze/brass components. Sunbeam for that
matter stipulated to use SEA 30 or 20W50 engine oil. I do not see a
reason to take the risk using EP oils. They do not ad much if anything.
Straight or detergent containing does not matter much if you change the
oil on a regular basis as prescribed in those days. Oil is cheap so I
change the oil in my gearbox every time I change the engine oil, i.e.
once a year. Use a drain plug with a magnet.
Modern gearboxes may not even have a drain plug as the oil is never
changed and we have become used to that!

EP lubes are formulated with an anti-friction additive especially for use i=
n hypoid gear sets. That is because hypoid gears use a sliding contact rath=
er than a rolling contact and the EP additive is required eliminate frictio=
n and to allow them to survive in use.
EP lubes should not be used in mechanisms that require built in friction to=
operate properly such as synchronizer rings in transmissions or limited sl=
ip differentials.
Detergents in oils are intended to suspend microscopic contaminants such as=
soot particles in engine oil so it doesn't settle out and form deposits in=
oil passages. I will not suspend large particles such as brass or iron fil=
ings.

Hi,
I'm on the scrounge......
I have a pdf version of the BMC manual (AKD 1179H). Supposedly covers BN4 &

Anyhow, I seem to be missing Gearbox sections FF & FFF. Can anyone spare th=

I just finished doing exactly that job on a rear end and steering box.
I use brake clean for final degreasing but one important detail.
Keep applying the brake clean until it runs off the bottom of the part CLEA=
R. It took 1 full cans to degrease these 2 items.
I then wipe off as much as I can will a clean cloth.

<br>
I ran atf in my not-Healey for about ten years and the box was<br>
noisier, leaked more and took a long time to spin down to engage the<br>
unsynchronised 1st gear. The synchro action on 2 and 3 is considerably<br>
better though, particularly when cold. Went back to Redline<br>
conventional transmission oil and it seems to be a better compromise.<br>
<br>
The Tremec gearbox has a lot of large gears spinning over in there so<br>
I'd imagine ATF has an advantage with reduced viscosity drag plus less<br>
ability to lubricate the synchroniser cone during shifting. 1980s<br>
Japanese 5 speed transaxles had the same issue and used ATF to improve<br>
gear shifting.<br>
<br>
ATF will likely have detergents in it so may stir up all that brass<br>
sludge which accumulates in the OD cavities in an old gearbox.<br>

The subject of gearbox oils has be discussed on this list more than once.<b=
r>
I am not advocating the use of gear oil in these boxes but the subject is<b=
r>
sure to be raised again..<br>
In the interests of saving some band width a couple of points.<br>
<br>
1. No one has ever reported seeing any evidence of Extre=
me Pressure<br>
(EP) additives damaging the bronze syncro rings in our gearbox=
es.<br>
2. Laycock DeNormanville, the manufacturer of our overdr=
ive units DO<br>
NOT specify what lubricant is used in their overdrive units, t=
hey leave<br>
that up to the manufacturer of the gearbox to which it is atta=
ched and<br>
shares its lubricant. EP oils will not adversely affect =
the overdrive<br>
unit, in fact 80/90 gear oil was the factory recommendation fo=
r the TR6<br>
with either type of overdrive "A" or "J".<=
br>
<br>
Now back to regularly scheduled program :-)<br>

Overall observations:- 1) make sure that you've got the filter and the<br>

2) Consider swapping the mad notched drain plug monstrosity for the earlier=

Guys,???? A while back I had my differential sand blasted.? It's already do=

Carb or Brake Cleaner will do the trick and isn't necessarily banned in<br>
California. I think some brake cleaners are banned but I'm pretty sur=

EP lubes are formulated with an anti-friction additive especially for use i=
n hypoid gear sets. That is because hypoid gears use a sliding contact rath=
er than a rolling contact and the EP additive is required eliminate frictio=
n and to allow them to survive in
use.<br>
<br>
<br>
EP lubes should not be used in mechanisms that require built in friction to=
operate properly such as synchronizer rings in transmissions or limited sl=
ip differentials.<br>
<br>
<br>
Detergents in oils are intended to suspend microscopic contaminants such as=
soot particles in engine oil so it doesn't settle out and form deposits in=
oil passages. I will not suspend large particles such as brass or iron fil=
ings.<br>

I just finished doing exactly that job on a rear end and steering box.<br>
<br>
I use brake clean for final degreasing but one important detail.<br>
<br>
Keep applying the brake clean until it runs off the bottom of the part CLEA=
R. It took 1 full cans to degrease these 2 items.<br>
<br>
I then wipe off as much as I can will a clean cloth.<br>

Agree with Alan, but follow-up with a 'pre-paint prep' similar to<br>

I haven't used the Eastwood stuff, but got something similar at<br>
the local auto paint store (in California).<=
