[Mgb-v8] Gear box oil

[Paul Root]

I used ATF in my TR7 5-speed. My second one. The first one Fragged on  
I-5 in the middle of Orange County.
My parts guy showed me the tiny hole that the gear oil had to go  
through the oil pump of that thing.

I don't know how much of the guts are shared between the transmissions.
