Tony B Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I've used it with god results, in Land Rover and Dodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedawnpatrol Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Well, i'm going to try it tomorrow so will report my findings ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadline Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 What kind of trouble? What gear(s)? The T84 is a simple device and fixes are pretty easy. There is nothing in mystery goo that will fix anything... think placebo effect more than sound mechanical repairs. And Slick50 et al have all been sued for buggering up the very mechanisms they are supposed to 'protect'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Anyone tried the gearbox treatment from Lucas? No but I've used their stuff which is guaranteed to stop power steering leaks.Doesn't b----y work:argh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedawnpatrol Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 No, did not use it in the end, have taken the box out for a full rebuild ! Lets do it the propper way ! Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadline Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Most gear boxes are simply worn out. The cast iron shell had two holes that need to be aligned and round to keep the bearings and shafts in line. Once those who bearing seats go out of round you are pretty much on borrowed time. Reproduction tranny cases are available.. but if they are MD-Juan made I wouldn't trust them farther than I could throw one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
