Does anyone have a comment, good or bad, on using Molyslip G in the gear box and transfer box?
Thanks James. Does that suggest the synchromesh would not work properly?ive never used as theres little point if you change oil regularly trying to improve whats ample anyhow, though i wouldnt in gear box as baulk rings work by gripping the gear cone and are designed with the oil in mind to be used in the box
or may cause premature wearThanks James. Does that suggest the synchromesh would not work properly?

Thanks for that. A very interesting theory. I'll search for that reportChlorinated Additives are not good for a gearbox, even an old Landy one ...
They all corrode copper-based alloys at moderate temperatures, a problem noticed in the 1930's ...
There is an AA report kicking about on the web someplace ...
Thanks for all your comments. Having gone into this in detail with many people, I have decided not to use Molyslip in the gear box. I'll probably use it in the diffs.. As for changing the gearbox oil regularly has anyone come up with a technique for getting oil into the level/filler plug that doesn't need the dexterity of a Chinese midwife? I thought about drilling a hole in the nearside floor and feeding a plastic pipe from a funnel into the filler hole. The drilled hole could then be closed with a rubber bung.
Thanks for your reply. I like the dispenser idea and will look around.I picked up an old oil Despenser years ago at a car boot sale. I rotation of the handle pumps 1 pint of oil and the tank on it holds about 2 gallon.
I paid £10 for it.
I hear what you say but don't understand your reason. I would be interested in hearing the reason for not using it in needle rollers.Don't put Molyslip in anything that uses needle rollers.

I think this one comes up regularly, I bought a couple of these and they work fine, also very cheap.Thanks for all your comments.

Thanks raywin. I'll have a look at your idea. Could be very useful.I think this one comes up regularly, I bought a couple of these and they work fine, also very cheap.

Thanks a lot. So simple. That's that job done.I use a length of hose with a funnel through the engine bay.
