## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Magic not Snake Oil - Ordered 2 tubes for my car gearbox. She has noisy input bearing, I know it didn't fixed the bearing, I just bought some time and noisy is 80% down, worked like a charm for me so far, finger's crossed. P.S. smoother gear shifting too Love it.
Review: Seems to work well - Recently added this to front/rear diff, gearbox and transfer case after changing the oils and it seems to help with noise reduction not sure long term effects yet but it does turn the oil a metallic silver when draining it as my rear diff had some in it already that I put in when I got the vehicle so if you use it and take it somewhere to have the oil drained and changed be aware they may bring that up

## Questions & Answers

**Q: would this cure a notchy manual gearbox**
A: It will probably help a bit after a few hundred miles, but as I previously answered it does NOT fix worn gearboxes. Regards, Jimbo.

**Q: Any good for auto box**
A: Only for manuel gear box.

**Q: How many do i need for 2.7 litres of gearbox oil, if i need 3 x lots, can i put in all 60g in it ? or is that to much**
A: It does recommend 1 tube per litre, but I've used 1 tube in a 2.4 ltr box and still noticed an improvement.
You could put 60 g in, but remember to check the gear oil level is correct and don't over fill.

**Q: Can this be used in gearboxes with overdrive?**
A: It really depends on the oil you use in your manual gearbox. This product MUST NOT be used with Automatic Transmission Fluids. If you are using SAE 75W (GL-4) or up to SAE 90W then this product will be fine. It's purpose is to coat the gears to reduce friction and wear, it does NOT fix worn gearboxes. Always check with your vehicle manufacturer what is the correct oil for your particular vehicle model.
