Hmmm jealous are we now goat?

The mog builds up to 8.5bar on gauge in cab no more than that. Just emptied 3 tanks very little water in them 2 was dry. The one near the unloader valve had a little maybe 1/4 of an eggcup.

the 4-5 change thing is a well known mog problem,what type of oil are you using in the gearbox, does it only happen when the box is "COLD" does it come and go. if you go onto the benzworld forums and into the unimog section, do a search for shifting problems, theres about 3 pages of info on different causes and cures. My own box can sometimes be a bit sticky when it cold, but is fine once eveything warms up, but

its very fussy about the oil i put in it

Thanks for that, what is the preferred oil in the mog gearbox please? All my books etc still in storage after moving.

most of our american friends seem to be advising using synthetic, but ive found a good quality 75-90 non hypoy with a GL4 spec to do fine, do not use hypoy or any GL5 spec oils as the additives in these dont agree with some of the bearing surfaces inside the mog boxes
