L52 Break in & fluid??
« on: Mar 18, 2020, 09:48:44 PM »
Hay you all I was just wondering what is the break in procedure and what fluid you guys recommended I use in my freshly rebuilt Marlin L52 Transmission?
Thanks

Just heard back from Marlin and they suggest to break in with conventional 75w90 for the first 1000 miles then they recommend using Redline MT-90 75w90 fluid. So I thought someone out there might want to know.

I believe you'd be very hard pressed to find anyone on the planet that knows MORE about those gears than Marlin!!  :thumbs:
