I haven't yet got around to backing off the gearbox mounting studs as suggested by Ruairidh but thinking about Reckless Rate's comment that the layshaft is slowed by friction from the oil I had a look on-line for recommended lubricants.

Although the original specification seems to call for a straight 30 oil others have suggested Castrol Classic XXL 40 or even a non EP SAE 90 oil.

I'm currently using the same oil as in the engine which is a Classic 20W50.

What do you think about changing to a Non EP SAE90 Gear Oil?

John.
