I put in EVO 1 from Difflock.com in the LT77 gearbox of my wife's Tdi200 and it has worked wonders !!!
It's a fully synth oil, atf type, and seems to have reinvigorated the 'box - smoother changes, quieter running etc.
Not cheap at about £12 per litre but I reckon it's worth it.

They do come out with some bull**** sometimes but on this occasion they're right.

Just for info, the R380 box also uses ATF.
When I read this in the Hayne's book of wishful thinking, I couldn't believe it, but owners handbook confirmed it.
Normal gear oil in transfer box though.

different machining tolerances need different viscosity's and additives to keep apart and protect the facing metals
the smaller the gap the thiner the lubricant needs to be to squeeze in between the gaps
synchromesh's are also very particular when it comes to oil and it's viscosity and also how slippery it is as the synchro needs a certain amount of friction to work

Sorry to dig this up how much oil do i need to fill mi transfer box and gearbox??? :suspicious: :confused2:
And shold i use atf?? :suspicious:
sound like a fookin newbie:doh:
Re the quantities, iirc, the tranny box is 2.3ltrs and the gearbox is 2.8ltrs.
Tranny box needs EP80-90, gearbox used to have Dexron11 or 111, but for reccomendation now I believe is for MTF(Manual Trans Fluid)94.
Hope that helps

cheers dave, so do i put in Dexron11 or 111 (atf) or the MTF(Manual Trans Fluid)94.
I know where i can get the atf
Well that rather depends - if you have a good source of ATF at a ahhemm, good price, then I would go with that. After all, that's what the designers had in mind.
However, if there's no fiscal advantage then MTF94 is the way to go.
Good hunting
