MT82 tranny oil question

[Mad Hatter]

My shifter has always been quite balky, It improved with the Blowfishbracket but I have to admit it feels much better now with the MGW race shifter..... Well its still in the air, I have to lower the car and test it properly first ..... Got a miserable cold installing the tranny on a cold stone floor.

Thanks drano38! I have something similar to that for bleeding the brakes. I am ordering!

BG gearbox and diff. Better than OEM when cold. Like Steve says, though, same-same when hot.

Diff is a bit less clunky...must cushion better.

Here's the mod I did to my CoolTech Lube Mover for filling the diff and tranny.
1/2" ball valve with 1/2" PEX plastic pipe fittings on both ends.
Added 2 ft of clear vinyl 1/2" outside diameter (3/8" inside diameter) hose to fill the diff. Warm up hose w/ hair dryer or heat gun and it will be soft enough to stretch over the slightly too big 1/2" fittings.
For tranny, slide the 3/8 barb into the hose end (only 1 barb so I can get it back out): 3/8" barb to female/female coupler, to barbed fitting for 1/4" OD (.170" ID) vinyl hose (2 ft of hose)
The tranny hose is real small, so it takes longer to fill the tranny than the diff.
I have a helper pump the bottle to not get too much pressure, and they can use the pressure relief valve when the bottle is empty.

@drano38 that's TMO at it's best right there. Nice work!

Anyone have a comparison to the amsoil cocktail and the bg fluid?
