1995 FIAT Punto GT turbo gearbox - Crinkly Dave
Got talked into changing pads and discs for a friend today. Afterwards he mentioned his intention to change the gearbox oil (still listed by FIAT as maintenance item). He intended adding Molyslip, but I suggested instead using sythetic gearoil. Then he threw me by insisting the thing had a limited slip diff, which I find hard to believe on such a cheap machine. The implication was that it was a non-standard extra, added by a previous owner. Can anyone confirm if this could be correct. Certainly vital to use the correct oil if one is fitted!!

Also, any useful webpage for deciding what oil to use

Thank you
