Lesson learnt im only using honda oil from now on!!!
The gearbox kept blowing the redline shit through the filler hole and all over my bay, but i stupidly kept putting more redline in there"!!!
I drained it alll out today replaced it with correct oil i went for a long drive and no mess, but my 3rd gear synchro is notchie only on 4000rpm plus and only goin up so its not totaly dead but now ill have to use it as an excuse to hunt a ITR box down, i guess thats the only plus hey...
told ya so.
lol.
HEHEHE i know,
Y does the box reject redline oil is my question????
Any one where and how much i can get a ITR LSD box??
im not fused if its a 4.4 or 4.7, i just want the LSD and good synchros
did you replace the washer on the filler bolt?
I used the breather hole to fill it up..
Is there any aditive i can use to make the shift into 3rd not so rough till i find a new box.
Maybe that nulon gear stuff or some thing???
First time ive heard bad things about redline gear oil. Alot of wrx and gtr use this gear oil.
yes.
but hondas are quite sensitive when it comes to thier boxes.
Will the nulon gearbox tube stuff help in anyway or should i just leave it??
so its only recommended to use honda oil when doing gear boxes?Quote:

why did u use the gearbox breather hole to fill it up ? Probably a big gulp got stuck in there with a big airbubble and blew it all out again = not enough fluid. There is a few good resources about PROPERLY filling up gearbox - including the DIY i did very recently - look -

+1 stupidity rep to you lol.
Ive had 2 DC2R drivers that were using aftermarket gearbox oil complain about selection issue's,which was resolved once replaced with oem fluid.
Stick with oem fluid for your gearbox..:)
I filled it up exacly same way today with proper fluid and no fluid has leaked!!!!
How can it be doin it for 1 week with redline oil and as soon as drain it and use Honda oil the problem is resolved..
The obvious answer is the gearbox does not like redline easy...
