Re: WM20 Gear selection thoughts?

I used to run Royal Purple in the box because it was in fact purple
Primary was dextron
Thus purple spots = leaky box
Red spots = leaky primary
black spots = engine leak
For this ride I geard up the bike as I was riding with Shane on his speed triple & I did not want hin to wear out his 2nd gear going slow enough not to leave me behind as we went down via Goulburn & Crookwell then Borrawra because the servo at Crookwell was closed and most of those roads are fairly strait fas roads , not really where a WM20 shines .
However I ran out and it was going to be a big 3 day weekend ride in & ride out so I used some VolTrans that got ages ago at a auction.
This was on the assumption that it was going to be fine as it normally goes in Volvo auto boxes & diffs and the syncro cones in auto boxes are a bronze powder pressing
Well it wasn't
What really floored me was the layshaft bush worn oval
