[Spridgets] Hot stick in slow traffic

[Edward Perez]

Drove the Midget up to Tulalip (about 18 miles) on some back roads, then the 
freeway.  I noticed the transmission and stick shift gets extremely hot in 
stop/go traffic.  We put 30 wt. oil in the trans when we installed it.  Would a 
heavier oil keep it cooler?  Is this a problem?  It got pretty freakin' hot and 
had me worried.....  Datsun 5 speed.
