I've search, there's not too much spoken about gearbox oils. I have a Tip, just wondering what other tip drivers are using.

Also, gearbox oil change, is it hard to do? DIY??

Dunno about fluid type, but the DIY is in here:

Actually workshop manual exerts are on page 3 I think.

I've heard wonderfull things about Redline (i think). Expensive but its the bomb diggity.

Find AJ. I remember him saying something about it in the NSW WSID thread

Castrol Syntrax ftw! Really good stuff once it warms up. Forget about cold starts into 2nd gear though

Confusion attack, so transmission ad gearbox is the same thing?

I think the auto and manual transmissions use different oils

Look in the Oil Stickly thread. There is info there.

Dont use a gear oil in your Tip and dont use an Manual GB oil in your Tip. Although granted a gear oil will have more friction modifers which is what u need in your tip.

The manual spec SPIII rated ATF, never had any issues - at all. It has more friction modifiers than Dextron III and if its specified for it, then use it and dont f**k around.

At the very least use an ATF not a gear oil.

Thanks guys.
