Before I put my finished seats back in my 79 Spit, before I put the carpet back, I want to change the tranny's oil. The tranny is in good shape, with 89,000 miles on it. I'm thinking about synthetic

Well if you have an overdrive DO NOT put synthetic in. THat will mess up your bands and require an overhaul. If it's a 4 speed I would say sure. What does everyone else say? Mark -- Bradley D Richard

I have 80w90 semi synthetic gear oil in my spit with OD. The OD has no problems with it. However I have hear some full synthetic will even give a non OD gear problem by being too slippery for the syn

That is likely to be expected in colder climes. I think it is why earlier cars (TR3/4, etc) had recommendations of using engine oil in the OD transmissions. Joe

Excuse the dumb question, but where are you folks buying the Redline trans oil? No one around here carries it, and the usual Brit car suppliers don't seem to have it either. Any tips (especially mail

Swedish Auto Specialties has it - I just ordered some for my Saab. $9/quart. I don't know if they carry both flavors though, Saabs use the kind for trannies that take engine oil... http://www.sasab.c

Some synthetic oils appear to contain additives that are corrosive to parts made from certain types of metals. I wish I could quote the exact source of this information, but it has been a while since

I think actually the lower viscosity oil recommendation had to do with Laycocks oil specifications for their transmissions. They do not recommend the standard 70 to 90 weight gear oils. I think they

I've had similar experiences with synthetic oils in transmissions. They would work fine in some, and not well in others. Huge improvements in the old Ford rockcrusher, improvements in the RX-7 (thoug

I thought I was being clear about the distinctions between gear oil and engine oil when I said "50 weight gear oil or an equivalent weight engine oil." The base oils themselves are identical, the dif
