Yes, thank you for clearing that up. The tribe has spoken as one. Faith restored. Have downloaded Redline's PDF.

It seems there's a consensus that Redline Shockproof is the stuff to use in the V11 bevel box, and so I was all set to get me some when I came across the following exchange (coughed up by Google, of course). Any thoughts, anyone? The URL: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123703910 DO NOT use redline shockproof unless you change your trans oil every 3 weeks. Just wondering, why you say that ? i´ve using my Redline Shockproof Synchromesh in my car for the past 2 years, with no problems of any kind.. __________________ Shockproof works like this: There's tiny chunks of calcium in the fluid, hence it's "milky" appearance. Under load, they get in betwen the gears and as they're crushed they absorb the force by breaking into smaller chunks. Shockproof fluid is nothing new, it's been a drag racer's dream for decades. But what happens in a street car, is that once all those chunks are broken up (it doesn't take long either, maybe 3,000 Miles at MOST) you're basically left with horse piss for gear oil. It's awesome stuff, but it has it's place. It's place is in a drag car that gets launched hard, and launched hard often. In a street car, it's garbage. The MT-90 is a 75W90 fully synthetic gear oil, and is perfect for a street car. Switch to that.

Hey Joe, I just fixed this problem on my 2000 V11S. There is a tube built into the tank that connects the drainage hole at the cap to the outlet at the base of the tank, to which the drainage hose is affixed. Mine had a small perforation in it a couple of inches below the filler cap which would leak out through the overflow hose whenever the tank was full, and particularly when it was pressurized. I fixed it by using a hose clamp to clamp a small section of gas-line hose over the hole, slitting the hose so that it could be slipped over the internal tube. I couldn't actually see where the perforation was on mine, but by covering the overflow hole at the filler neck with my finger and blowing through the overflow hose I could see and hear the bubbles, and so was able to manoeuvre the clamp around till it blocked the leak. I was able to get a small wrench on the hose clamp through the filler hole and tighten it down. I'm not sure, but I may have read that some later V11s have the gas pump inside the tank. If this is so there must be more access to the tank internals. I was lucky that it was close enough to the filler orifice that it could all be done through there, Good luck! Lucky
