The 405 handbook suggests a an SAE30 for the gearbox and overdrive, I asked Brian at BCL what was best for my non overdrive box in the 401 and he suggested the same 20/50 oil we are using in the engine.
Castrol XXL is one of the oils recommended for the gearbox in the late 401's and 403's so I would have thought should be ok.
