  • xj1100 tranny 80w gear oil?

    ok well its been a few since i was in here last so i was wondering
    if my middle drive were the 80w oil goes, up front by the trans was empty would that cause trans to make noise going into gear and rattle loude. and be aherd to shift. i do belive i have the 1,2 gear problem but i just want to see what noise or thing that would be affected by no 80w, i removed the plug by back of tranny and no oil also removed the filler and stuck checking stick and no oil.

    would that have anything to do with tranny?

    Yes, that may cause some noise. It's 90w oil though. Add oil, and see what happens.
