- In my car the Datsun tranny was a lot quieter than the ribcase, but I bet it would depend somewhat upon the condition of the ribcase in question. I use Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil in the tranny. As fa

- The Datsun should be quieter. When you tested it, did you have a shift boot installed? When I first drove my car w/o a shift boot, I heard all kinds of noise that is usually muffled by the boot. I u
