This new oil seems to have solved the problem!!

Caltex MTF 94 is UK made Texaco MTF 94. Another gear oil that some has found results in a better change again and lasts longer than MTF 94 is Castrol Syntrans (not to be confused with Castrol Syntrax) Redline MTL is also a very good manual gearbox oil.

I'm still using "Syntrax" with great results. I see no valid reason to change at this time.
