Hi Mike,

Use engine oil (20W40) in the gearbox.

I forgot to mention that there is a Rube-Goldberg medium-term solution to the crown gear if it's worn: take the rear axle and diff apart and simply reverse the gear in the housing. That way, the worn part of the wheel will only contact the worm under the over-run, so any "surging" will be banished. Make sure the shims and bearing races are reversed too, to ensure the gears are properly centred.

Cheers
