Other ones but not sure now ,any ideas from anyone ?

Doh!
ATF is what you need.
You will need half of what you supposed to add.

Automatic transmission fluid.
You can buy 1litre and fill that in. I did this trick to my gearbox after I changed to a new fluid and not getting gears with out cranch!

If its crunching in second then its sound like the sincros have gone ATF fluid is a bit thin as this is for Automatic transmissions don't think a mollyslip type oil will sort it 75/80 is the correct viscosity,

To fill up the gearbox jack up the car level and top up from the filler plug on the diff housing until the oil drips out

These boxes are easy to rebuild though Smile
