Mike, I went out on the weekend to get the right fluid for the tranny after reading the link you posted.

SAE 80w-90 that is suitable for a hypoid setup is easy to get, but do our cars have an inbuild LSD as this compounds the issue a bit. Apparently the fluid that suits an LSD isn't too good for a hypoid gearset.

I always thought that the transaxle had an inbuild LSD?

You’ll want to find Castrol Hypoy C SAE 80W-90 limited slip gear oil http://www.panteraplace.com/Te.../ZF%20102902%201.JPG Note that the container has “limited slip” printed on the top left corner for use in our ZFs that are limited slip. It is a bit complicated that the limited slip differential is in the same case with the gear train. Some owner use synthetic but there can be weeping problems. There are a lot of different opinions on the best lube to use, but Castrol Hypoy C SAE 80W-90 limited slip gear oil has been used many owners with good results.
