gearbox noises
Thank you RMullins. "My spare machine is in another city... and I am relying on a less than mechanical friend to look it over for suitability. You saved me a long drive to get the gearbox.
I did a search on oil and other matters, but found one long thread that had devolved into a debate, rather than technical info. My 3500 mile machine is noisy on the right side. I found it had no oil in it. Flushed it with ATF and my magnet found lots of metal. Running it now with 3 oz. of 0-50 wt. synthetic BMW oil. I am astounded after all the years on the market.... I can find no reference to the quantity of oil in there. Many have speculated on what it is.
Anyway, I will run it with the synthetic until I find a used gearbox with less miles.
