Wrong Oil? and I digress...

I remember someone mentioning that their 3rd gear grind coincided with the use of the wrong oil (somebody help me here, synchros complain when the oil is too light, right?) What's he putting in there when he rebuilds? The safe choice is the Saab synthetic gear lube. You didn't mention the linkage, but there's only a very slight chance that it's the suspect.
I've been meaning to bring this up to the group after my earlier comments about needing a rebuild: I've been playing with gear lubes myself, I noticed MTL had great shifting but was very very eager to grind in 1/2/3. Mobil 1 Gear Lube, only in 3rd on a downshift. The old 10W-30 never ground but felt like mud. Saab Synth is next on the test roster. I'm not thinking rebuild anymore...I'm gonna fart around with oils and see what happens. The last resort would be the heavier AMSOIL Series 2000 (20W-50?).
