Car Question for Gear Heads:

[olnacl]

While this doesn't apply to the OP, I switched to synthetic oil in the engine and transmission of my 1980 MGB which, with conventional oil, gave an annoying little clash while changing from 1st into 2nd gear. That issue went away almost immediately (and never returned) upon changing the trans oil to synthetic. Note: The MGB uses motor oil in the trans, not "gear oil." I've used synthetic oil in all my cars since then.
