As per title, I've acquired a drum of ep90 so am planning on doing diffs & t'box but wasn't sure about putting it in the gearbox as I remember someone saying it was too thick for an lt77....what do ya reckon?

you will also bugger baulk rings quite quickly,baulk rings to work have grooves to strip oil from gear cone to allow baulk ring to brake gear to allow synchro hub to engage it, thick oil is too thick for lt77s and r380s

fair enough I won't be doing that then. Just means I've got enough ep90 to last me a couple of years

Thanks a lot for the advice guys.

Do you know if it's GL4 or GL5?

I believe GL5 is only any good for ya axle diffs

yes dont put gl5 in your transfer box of it will slowly eat away all the brass fittings.
