Default One more Ferret Gear-Box/Transfer-Case question.....

'Afternoon All,

Now that we have our Ferret operational again after it's Gear-Box/Transfer-Case rebuild, and have been running it for a few days, we've "tweaked" the linkages and adjusted the brake-bands after some running-in, and everything's starting to work properly. We had it up to 60 Km/H (+-) so far, and she looks like she wants to go faster if the speed limits permit.

We still have some leakages of fluid from the bearings (?) on the transfer-case portion of the transmission and the suggestion was made by the chap who did the work rebuilding it (our primary mechanic) to use a 710 ml container of LUCAS Transmission Fix and see if that solves the problem. Several other members of the museum who are more mechanically knowledgeable than me thought I should add a container of LUCAS SAE 80W-90 Gear Oil to the transfer-case instead.

Is this the recommended course of action to fix the problem and if so, which is the appropriate product to add to the Transfer-Case - the LUCAS Transmission Fix or the LUCAS SAE 80W-90 Gear Oil?

Cheers,

Chris Preston
