Later on I will post Richard's reply to my original query.
As promised...
Best to ring Richard and discuss the issue with him, and he will suggest what to put in, and how much. :thumb2
This is not a guaranteed solution, but it helped my Mav.
Moly slip gearbox treatment
The Multiglide is for both manual and automatic trans as well as semiautomatic (tiptronic) as well as limited slip diff.
It just happens to be a fully synthetic detergent rich viscosity improver with anti foaming agents and seal preservatives .It can be mixed with barium based hypoid gear oils, in cases wear there is severe bearing wear and or leaking seals. It is also perfectly suited for MTF applications. (newer trans that use a synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid)
For you needs about 105ml of G in the trans and about 100ml of Multiglide that should quiet the bearings right down and help keep your seals sticky and pliable just in case the bearing wear has stretched the seals any. use another 100 ml of Multiglide in the rear diff as it should be a LSD.
I have the Multiglide in a 250ml so you don't have to buy the 500ml flask. You can just use the G in the trans and it will help but the blend will work better.
You are always welcome to call if you have any questions 9am-9pm everyday on 01327 354 356 All the best, Richard
So far they have had luck with the Multiglide as it remains very sticky even under heaviest stress conditions.
If you catch it earlier and the trans is standard with out over drive then 175ml of Molyslip2001G®
If the whine has already started then the Multiglide is a better choice as it is thicker and stickier. It can also be used in the read diff.
If there is some bearing wear you can mix the G and multiglide now while this won't solve the problem it will buy a lot of time 80,000 miles or so.
The Multiglide will help the compounds in the G o better stick to and bond with the worn bearings.
You would still only want to use the Multiglide in the rear diff.
So far users have come back to saying the noise stopped in a couple severe cases there was even some vibration and the mix of Multi and G cut the whine and vibration.
If there is vibration the the main input shaft bearing is severely worn. Enough to allow the shaft to to move around.
if you plan to do the rear diff, she has an LSD back end so you want to use Multiglide 110ml.
The G should be fine for the trans and one bottle will be more then enough as you will only use about 160ml if you plan to do the rear diff, she has an LSD back end so you want to use Multiglide 110ml.
Molyslip engine treatment
Yes sir, the way it works is the Molyslip that has lost it's protective properties loses it's ability to keep it's molecular bonds and simply falls away draining off with the old oil but the layers below that are still bonded.
Think of it almost like coats of paint as the top layer is used it simply wears off and makes contact with the next layer.
These layers are extremely small so small that they reach a maximum height of about 40-41,000 each lasting about 1000 miles a bit less in diesel and a bit more in an LPG engine.
So what ever hasn't worn away stays in.
This is just a natural reaction with steel and Molybdenum, they are attracted together, this is why Moly is used in making steel as it helps align the crystals in the steel converting it from Iron into steel.
Just add 100ml every 20,000 miles after the first treatment. The application for that Maverick will be 290ml of Molyslip 2001E® as it is 10ml per 100cc of engine plus 20ml for the Turbo that should last about 39,000 miles the left over 200ml from the second bottle of E can be used as refresh treatments every 20,000 miles so the 2 bottles will sort you out for about 65,000 miles
