I have finally sorted the right spec gearbox oil and now changed it, I would say it has improved the change by 30% it now feels dare i say it normal, Its still mechanical and precise but no longer slightly annoying it does what it should and i would say it is now has a perfect feel, When its cold its still a bit tight but once its warmed though its superb, Before changing the oil it was very nice when cold but when warmed up it got a bit tight and annoying so to me that meant oil was not working when hot as it should and although it should not be changed till quite a high milage/time period the oil i took out was very thin and very very black. :)
 
I used a 75/90 gl5 fully syn (the 75/90 i used also covers 75/80 and 75/85 and gl4) modern fully syn gearbox oils cover more of a range of specs, I spent a lot of time making sure i new the correct spec of oil,
 
my gearbox and diff fluid will be changed this year..... im hoping it will have a possitive effect also, if you did this on your drive... respect. :thumbsup:
