Is anyone putting thicker oil in their gearbox for these terribly hot summer days? I'm running 20w/50 and I'm thinking it might be too thin. I'm getting a lot of noise and shifting problems, and it seems to happen when it's really hot. Last night my wife and I were heading to dinner I was driving along in 2nd gear. Tried shifting to 3rd and it wouldn't go into gear at all. No grinding of the gears, just locked out. Tried 4th, same thing. Went back to 2nd gear and pulled into a parking lot. Worked the lever back and forth and she finally popped into other gears. Allowed it to cool for about 2 hours while eating. Drove home with no problems shifting. The outside temps had probably dropped a good 10 degrees.
After driving with the original 4 speed these past couple of weeks I'm seriously considering a Rivergate conversion as a winter project. For North Atlanta traffic this gearbox won't last long.
