Offender90 on here is an acoustic engineer. He has posted info on soundproofing and materials a few times. I am sure he would be happy to point you in the right direction.
He has some info on barium loaded vinyl materials and other stuff which is much better than anything you can get at clark rubber.
Hey I have been thinking, when one reads of additives like Slick 50 or Redline or Wynns "damaging" a gearbox, what does this actually mean? My understanding with Slick 50 is that it bonds to the wearing surfaces and reduces friction, so I don't really understand what sort of damage can result....
I know it's a bit of a futile hope with regards to noise reduction, as so many have been down that path before, but I would still be tempted to try an additive, except that I'd hate to ruin the overdrive.

I reckon you should just harden up.

Instead of Slick50 or any of the other additives, get a witch-doctor to cast a "silencing spell" on your overdrive - it's cheaper and the effect is the same (and the science behind the process just as sound).
Hi there
I have only had two series Land Rovers which had overdrives fitted....
THE ONLY WAY TO TO STOP THE NOISE - is to remove them, and poeple pay big money for them (And I dont know why).
Sorry to be blunt - but they noise they make is terrible, worse in a hard top.
