Scott,

STOP!!!!!!

If this is the Ford 4 speed toploader from the Tiger do NOT use anything 
but GEAR oil, about 90 wt.  The other stuff is for the 5 spd conversions.

I do, however, recommend breaking in the new rebuild for 1,000 miles or 
so, then draining the 90 wt gear oil and refilling with Mobil 1 
synthetic GEAR oil.  It is much slicker, shifts easier, and only costs 
$10/can :-)
