Just checked gearbox oil and it looks reddish to me, question is can it drain from transfer box into main gearbox or has someone put the wrong oil in the gearbox?

Cheers

gearbox = ATF = red (usually)
the transfer box is a normal mineral gear oil, so is, well, oily coloured

I dislike ATF now, cos the stuff doesn't come off, I managed to bathe in the stuff doing my G/B oil. I swear I still smell of it a week later.
 
ATF is also a very thin oil, only slightly thicker than water, whereas gear oil is really viscous like treacle.
 
Whoops!!!! got me boxes mixed up and thought the gear box had gear oil in it, Sorted now put new atf in it.

Thanks for replys

Steve
