I attended an auction today and picked up 4 x 5 litre cans of Molyslip 2000G Gear additive. I have used the 2000E in my TD5 engine but have never used the G
Does anyone have an experience of it in the differentials, the transfer box and/or the manual gearbox?

The university of Google seems to say it's ok (good?) for the diffs and some people say not for the gearbox cos it makes baulk rings too slippy (no idea what that means LOL) but cannot find any mention of the T box
 
The T-box is also a kind of differential so if it's ok in diffs it will be ok in the TB too... IMO dont use it in the gearbox, aamof better not put anything else than MTF94 in it cos the R380 is very sensitive to oil type
 
Post series III - LR specified ATF in the manuals - but when MTF was developed, they switched - I've run both in SWMBO's R380, and it prefers MTF..... some of them prefer ATF :confused: - if yours prefers ATF, then use ATF - and vice versa :)

(ATF is damn fine flushing oil for the GB too).

Baulk Rings are the "brakes" in the gearbox which enable synchromesh to work - if the oil is too "slippy" - they can't get hold of the gear, and the synchro is weak...... and you struggle to change gear smoothly....

So, I wouldn't use the additive in your manual GB - just change its choice of fluid yearly....
