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

Thanks James. Does that suggest the synchromesh would not work properly?

Chlorinated 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 that. A very interesting theory. I'll search for that report
 
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.

Use a garden pressure sprayer pump thing ....
or have a friend fill it from the top with a longer hose and you underneath steering the tube ... :rolleyes::D
 
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 think this one comes up regularly, I bought a couple of these and they work fine, also very cheap.

That's what the wife said. However lying on the ground underneath even my biggest hammer wouldn't shift it. I cut a piece of 6mm thick aluminium to the width of the slot in the plug and pulled on it with a long stilson pipe wrench. That worked but the 6mm aluminium was twisted in the process. Whoever fitted the plug last time must have used an impact driver of some kind.
