    Balance Tube

    This is the gearbox connection as viewed from below

    As you can see, the balance tube connects the level plugs. This modification was performed as a workaround. The seal around the shaft is wearing out and allows oil to feed from the transfer case to the gearbox as the shaft rotates. Rather than pull the gearbox apart to replace a seal, the balance tube was installed to allow the oil to drain from the gearbox back to the transfer case. I was advised not to leave the vehicle parked on hills overnight.

    LT95/ OD oils

    The gearbox is nearly together so I've been researching oil. I know the "kill the oil pump shaft" story as I have seen it. I an tending towards quality engine oil as recommended - 20W50.

    101Ron's info on 101 oils
    Engine castrol GP50 20/50
    Gearbox castrol VMX 80.....I highly recommend this for the gearbox as it makes for better gear shifting.
    Transfercase GP50 or 60 engine oil.
    Diffs castrol BP140, EPX 85-140.
    Any engine oil suitable for older hard working V8s is OK as a engine oil
    The specs on VWX80 look Ok, I was wondering what others were actually using in their boxes?



    Cheers,
    Peter

    ATF is an excellent option for the LT95.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Before you refit the gearbox............take a look at the overdrive with the view of stopping oil leaks.
    They leak from between the lay shaft and alloy housing.
    Also from the gear shift shaft.
    I ended up making a alloy plate over the layshaft and bolting it on with small fine thread bolts.......I have a post on it some where.
    The gear shift shaft needs a O ring groove machined into the housing to stop the oil creeping back out.....or another plate or plug over it.
    The overdrives do leak so now may be the time to see if you can improve things a bit.
    Trust me the VMX 80 works well in the main gear bag......gear shifting is improved over engine oil with no other side effects.
