Mike,
After a lengthy discussion with the guy who rebuilt my transmission and
probably knows more about geaboxes, overdrives and diffs than anyone I've ever
met on the planet, he suggested that I try splitting the difference with
non-foaming 50w racing oil. I'm going to pick some up from him this morning
and give it a go. If that improves things, I'll leave it at that, but I'm not
adverse to trying 30w non detergent as well, or the Redline stuff that Joe
Curry recommended.
Best wishes,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
I'm not saying you should use this on your O/D but the one I bought
rebuilt from Quantum Mechanics recommends putting straight 30W
non-detergent oil in the O/D tranny. He feels the 80/90 weight is too
heavy for the O/D to work properly. Of course mine a single rail I
believe, for a 1978 Spit.
My 2 cents. - mike chmura
