Seems to me that I read somewhere that Triumph specified a different weight
of oil for trannies than is true of Healeys -- keep in mind that Healeys
share the oil with the overdrive and use it for hydraulic actuation as well as
lubrication; that might make a difference. That having been said, no reason
Valvoline Racing Oil wouldn't work, since it works in the engine. I use
MTL-90 in mine (since I buy it for my MGA race car) and like the performance.
