    white oil the in gearbox ?

    Hi All
    I am in the process of removing a donor gearbox fom a RRC
    I have drained the oil.
    I know that white sludgy oil means the gearbox has had water in it.
    So ...... Two Questions:

    I think your going to say it depends how long it's been in there but if I refill it with clean oil and drain it again to flush it out do you think the gear box will be OK

    The only way I can think of water getting in the gear box is wading without the plug in it? Any other ways you can think of that I should check

    i think you answered your own question, yes it depends on how long it has been in there. Has the box been sitting or has it been operational until now?

    the box is a manual I just got the donor RRC so I don't know how long it's been like that. The bloke I got it from said it had been in use until about two months ago.

    I guess I'll swap it anyway and give it a good flush through. I suppose it wil be worth the chance give the price/trouble of getting another box. Re-con box hmmm it would cost more than my RRC is worth !

    If it is a manual, as long as you flush it properly, and change, 'O' rings, seals etc., you should be okay..........

    as long as not too much damage has been done prior,,,,,,,,,,,

    I would use a spirit based flush before you change seals..........

    and make sure the waste flush is as clean as it's original state...

    shouldn't really do this but if you go to repco/ingrams/oex if you have one near you ..... get some ERG UFA - universal flushing agent.

    Hi Steve
    Fill it with auto trans fluid ant take it for a run till hot,drain and re-fill with the correct oil,go for a very good quality oil,even synthetic.
    There will be rust on the bearings,ATF is very good at treating rust,just hope it aint too serious!!!!
