Just bought an sj

Post by SJay » Sun Apr 14, 2013 10:34 am

Hey thought id register on here as i picked up my sj last night. Im from lancs. About to do a bit of a service on it, can anyone recommend a decent gearbox oil? Theres a bit of grinding in 2nd, so anything to help me aid that would be great. :thumbup:

Did my diff oils before going to billing and even travelling down on the original transfer box it went better and sounded smoother. Clean oils makes a hell of a difference.
