Silkolene Synthectic gearbox oil:-
Realised yesterday afternoon that I have ran 6 hours (2X 3 hr hare and hounds) and 2 visits to the MX track on the same gearbox oil, ooops! Last night I drained the oil, I had used some Silkolene full synthetic, not cheap @£10, but I had full wallet at the time 
and wow, that oil was a good as the day I put it in, no aluminium shiney bits or contamination and this clutch has been xtreme 'fanned'!
I then found out the spare bottle of Silk' Syn' in the back of the van had punctured itself on a spare sprocket and so I used some ATF I use in our BMW's. I went for a quick smoke around....hmm real hard to find neutral at a standstill when hot, b*!gger, so I'm off to get some more Silkolene Synth'
So, credit where it's due when a great product's found, when it comes to gearbox oil I think you do get what you pay for and for the use I have had, that 'expensive' oil was 'cheap' in the long run.
hope this helps someone
