DodgyRog Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I know that running a TT BPU on a W58 is pushing the box to the limit, so just wandering if there is anything I can do to help Is there a different Oil I should but in the Gearbox, should I add a cooler or is this just for Auto's really I know driving styles differ and that has a facture on making the Gearbox survive, but would just like to know if there is anything else mechanically I can do to help Cheer Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) I will try not to give it a hard time, but I am a lorry driver lol So do I just use the normal Gearbox Oil still or if I upgrade the Oil will it help and I take it there is no point in a cooler Edited November 25, 2012 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 a good quality 75-90 should be fine, it took over 500 lbsft before i started going through them quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Definitely keep downchanges a fairly civil affair, don't use the box to slow down as third gear's retainer isn't strong enough to withstand the thrust of a hard downchange from fourth to third.
