qboronyrican Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Posted May 4, 2007 ok but this is gear oil not tranny oil.....is there a difference??????? Quote
Bansh-eman Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 same thing.... gear oil and tranny oil are differant names same thing... ATF is different but will serve the same purpose. Quote

jbooker82 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 thought so just wanted to make sure......been away from things for a while.....lol I dont think it is the right stuff. I think he gave you gear oil that would typicaly be used in car rear differentails. Most gear oil that you use on 2 cycle transmissions are just say straight 80w, not 80w90. I run belray gear saver 80w oil in my banshees transmission. You shake a quart of that and then shake a quart of 80w90. The 80w gear saver feels more like automatic transmission fluid, and the 80w90 feels like syrup. See Belray makes a gear saver 80w90 that is for differentaials. And they make a gear saver straight 80, and 85 weight oil for tranmissions. Bel Ray 80-90 Gear Saver LINK Bel Ray LINK Quote
