Hi Bob,
I use straight 140 gear oil in my TC's gearbox but plan on a change very
soon. Our local T series expert uses Redline sythentic 80-140 in both his
TA and TC and swears by it. He claims that in the TA it's like having a
rebuilt transmission. I HOPE to get some in to mine soon. I'll let you
know how it works.
