jbooker82 Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 thought so just wanted to make sure......been away from things for a while.....lol I dont think it is the right stuff. I think he gave you gear oil that would typicaly be used in car rear differentails. Most gear oil that you use on 2 cycle transmissions are just say straight 80w, not 80w90. I run belray gear saver 80w oil in my banshees transmission. You shake a quart of that and then shake a quart of 80w90. The 80w gear saver feels more like automatic transmission fluid, and the 80w90 feels like syrup. See Belray makes a gear saver 80w90 that is for differentaials. And they make a gear saver straight 80, and 85 weight oil for tranmissions. Bel Ray 80-90 Gear Saver LINK Bel Ray LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
