A stiff gearchange in the summer and an impossible one in winter with the risk of possible synchro/selector damage.john alexander wrote:what difference does the 90 make over the 80 ?? john
These 'boxes are very fussy over oil and only 75W/80 will do. Comma do a good one.

As far as I know, all PSA manual 'boxes use 75W/80. A 306 certainly will.jgra1 wrote:should apply Steve....
It's not at all uncommon for something else to be used when changing/topping up in the trade as 75W/80 is not a popular grade at all and a lot of people just don't realise the criticality of using the right stuff.
