172 Gearbox Oil Change

Hi All,

Had a replacement gearbox fitted 5 months ago, just started to notice a faint whine in 4th and 5th gears at low speeds. I'm going to change the oil first to see if this makes a difference. There are so many brands to choose from, which is the best oil to use. Would appreciate any advice. Am I right in thinking it should be GL5?

Also I have my old gearbox in the garage and may need to have this rebuilt, it was pretty noisy before I swapped it out. Any idea on a rough cost for a rebuild?

Cheers

Redline mtl for road use or mt90 if it sees track work mate.

Drop me a pm and I’ll be able to give you a rough idea of costings on a rebuild. 👍🏻
