There is no separate gearbox. It's tucked inside the engine and utilizes the engine oil.



Use ONLY the specified oil in the final drive, going with a full synthetic such as Mobil 1 doesn't hurt. While alternatives MAY work, or have similar specs, many times they are detrimental to O-rings, seals etc. on an application it isn't made for, and may not protect bronze, brass and ??? whatever else may be hiding in there somewhere.

You can also use google to search this site. Go to google search, click on advanced, plug in the site address and your search terms. Google doesn't limit the number of posts either, which the search on here does.

If the original poster couldn't even remember the viscosity of the oil he bought, who knows what he put in his engine.

I'm really inclined to assist you now. Sounded like you were quoting another thread in that post.



No good ever came from an oil thread.
