[ROVERNET - UK] SD 1 5SP Fluid

[Robert Thornton]

Redline Oils MTL smooths things out nicely and is kinder to the bearings
and internal oil pump (with plastic gears) that these boxes are blessed
with. There's a lot about this subject on the UK V8 Owners forum.

I used to use ATF in my TR7's gearbox, that was the spec' in the owner's
manual. I believe they used the same box (77mm ?). I think the earlier
models used a conventional gearbox oil (I can't remember now) from what
I remember the ATF did improve the rather notchy quality of the change,
but you had to drain and flush before switching from one to the other.
