howdy folks. Syncro fix it kits for 80 series Cruiser....

I'll second what Rowan has said. Don't fix anything until you've tried Castrol VMX-M gear oil.

Whoops, sorry Howard, I meant you!

I switched to it
- i think its better but changing down can still only be done by double clutch

I can't remember which year, but the 80series synchros were upgraded from double synchros to triple - might have been in 1992.

howdy Mazcan...

Cheers for your post, much appreciated.

I have tried VXM-M with Nulon additive & it certainly helped but still fussy, so keen to try your idea.

Is the oil your talking of castrol Agri MP plus? or can you give me the exact name at all?

Cheers again

hi rowen
the oil i used was
titan which is made by fuchs /aust and its---- utto/1206---
universal tractor transmission oil for agricultural and industrial machinery
any tractor trans/hydraulic oil for simular use would do
its the hydraulic lubicity qualitity that makes the difference imho
when you compare the feel of it to the other that you were using you will notice thats its much slipryer
as i think i mentioned before you will probably have to buy 20ltrs

i have no doubt you will feel the difference when changing gears
if not well your g/box is past it
cheers

Cheers mate...

Much appreciated....

Mobil Agri fluid, designed for transmissions that share wet clutches in farm machinery. I used it in my hilux and it was great but in the cruiser this time i tried Transmax Z seems to work OK as well.

here's a link for agri fluid 424 if you want to read it.
