Hello,
My NV4500 has had water inside and although it turns and shifts very nicely, some surfaces in the gears have fairly thick rust. I've been removing as much as I could, and I plan on flushing the trans before I close it again. I won't be able to remove all rust from the wear surfaces and I was going to fill it up with cheap gear oil, run the trans for a few minutes, drain and fill with the proper $$ fluid. Will this ruin my synchros? I really want to flush it this way, but the NV4500 fluid is very expensive.
Thanks,
Mikel
