I used castrol syntrax in my 98uk, seemed fine, took any noise away and made smooth changes. It was recommended by quite a few people.

Need to do mine again on my 99uk, dunno weather to use the same stuff or what else is available.

Sam, we will have replaced the oil when we did your clutch.

David,

Okay did not know that....

I am getting a crackling sound travelling up from under the gear stick some where, then i take my foot of the accelerater when driving, noticable in 3rd and 4th gear...nothing under the car seems loose..the only thing i thought of was maybe the gearbox oil needs to be changed....

any thoughts?

There is a thing called gear lever 'tizz' which means that a vibration is travelling up the stick. Usually a sign of worn bushes in the linkage. Best I can offer down the phone without hearing it myself.


Good luck David APi
