Reverse gear problem

[Stefano_b]

After having changed oil to my 2800 cs gearbox, I have sometimes problems inserting the reverse gear (scratches).
Do you think there is any chances the oil I used has caused some issue? Or could be the sinchronizer? Or maybe I have just to adjust the clutch (new itself)?

the oil I used was this one: 5 Liter ROWE VINTAGE SAE 80W API GL-3 Oldtimer

reverse in our coupes is not synchronized, so when you insert rear you should be calm and wait a bit

in any case my though is that you need an EP 80 oil, from top of my head it should be GL4
castrol has it
on top of this i recently changed my oils and i added some ceramic additive: 100 ml to gearbox and 100 ml to diff (which BTW is an EP 90)

nice result

I have seen your thread DeQuincey, it should be nice for me too adding a ceramic additive, since the gearbox is a little noisy!
Thank you!
