[ROVERNET - UK] SD 1 5SP Fluid

[Winchester, Miles]

I have converted my SD1 gearbox to ATF and there is improvements with cold
gear changes but I suggest also changing the rear output seal as this is
prone to leak with the ATF fluid.

Regards,

Miles

I used to use ATF in my TR7's gearbox, that was the spec' in the owner's 
manual. I believe they used the same box (77mm ?). I think the earlier 
models used a conventional gearbox oil (I can't remember now) from what I 
remember the ATF did improve the rather notchy quality of the change, but 
you had to drain and flush before switching from one to the other.
