I added some Dr tranny a couple of weeks ago to try and give me time to budget for a new gearbox.

Just incase it helps anyone I have included some pics.

I also took a simular out with a syringe and have kept that to test for contamination.

That oil in the syringe does not look at all good and would possibly be wrong oil or contaminated. I believe that Dr Tranny just softens the seals so they work better.

I agree and that is also my understanding of how Dr Tranny works.
