Was browsing as you do and found this

It goes through the things you should look at and gives a good explanation wrt when gearboxes "fail" after a fluid change

Enjoy??
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....

Great find and makes it pretty clear as to why grotty fluid replaced by new can cause so much grief.

The other thing I noted is that if the box/fluid is already bad then new fluid is very likely to tip it over the edge into needing a rebuild rather than making it better.
