Having owned my turbo for 6 years decided it's time to change the gearbox oil. In the process decided to see if it had a legible gearbox number. Although it has the usual dents and grazes most numbers are legible. The only numbers that are clear are 779 space 0158. looks to have 2 or 3 smaller numbers or even a numeric and a number preceding these numbers but appears to be a separate stamping, seem to be maybe the remainder of 930 34 which i believe is gearbox type. Guessing the first 7 could be 6cyl second 7 gearbox type and the 9 for year leaving the last 4 as sequential numbers???
For the record Australian delivered matching numbers vin and engine built September 1978 delivered 24th November 1978. Sold by John Newell NSW.
Also what gearbox oil is recommended, the articles I have looked at recommend Swepo 201 for both LSD and normal diffs and it is an oil which I am not familiar with and as yet I haven't tried to source. The car is lucky to see 1,000 kms annually.
