Making the gearbox less noisy

[t_marat]

What oil can I use to make the gearbox less noisy? It isn't whinning, but still, in first and second gears I can hear it from inside.

Mileage is 239000km (guess its about 148000 miles). Currently using Mobil1 ATF Premium 220.

To increase the viscosity.

the old used car dealer trick...sawdust

Don't wanna use any additives. Too scared :)

Is there any grade of oil which would make the gearbox quiter?

Already, so one option would be an ATF additive for older trannies, not a leak stop, but an oil conditoner type additve may help.

molybdenum disulfide.

Redline MTL its a 75w90 - heavier than the ATF.

Highly recommended by Jim Blanton.

Expect somewhat stiff shifting in cold weather until the tranny warms up.

Redline is not available at where I live. Plus, temperatures during winter can drop to -40C.

T_marat, you can get it shipped. Where are you? I run MTL and the Beast gots down to -35/-40-ish on some cold-snap days. Tranny has a little bit of the nice harmonic whine when you put power through it in 1st and 2nd, but I don't hear anything once I get light on the pedal.

Cheers,

Have you checked that the rubber seal is in place under the shift gaiter? Mine had been torn and it made a huge difference when I replaced it.
