Jeff,

In rebuilding my 82 Concord Wagon 5-speed we read that YES trans fluid used in the transmission as well as the power steering pump.  I can't reach my mechanic friend but something was strange about the rear axle grease also.  An it has been working fine!

Blessings,
Richard

I BOUGHT AN '87 EAGLE 5 SPEED CAR NEW. THERE WAS NOTICE I RECIEVED , I THINK BY MAIL, SUGGESTING PUTTING DEXTRON IN INSTEAD OF GEAR LUBE, TO COMBAT DIFFICULT SHIFTING IN COLD OHIO WINTERS. I REPLACED THE ORIGINAL WITH 85W90 FULL SYNTHETIC, AND WOULD LET IT IDLE IN NEUTRAL ON REALLY COLE DAYS, AND ALWAYS SLIP IT DOWN INTO FIRST JUST BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND NEVER FELT IT WAS HARD TO SHIFT. 1 TO 2 WAS ALWAYS A LITTLE DIFFICULT IN COLD TEMPS, UNLES YOU WENT A LITTLE FASTER BEFORE YOU SHIFTED, AND PUT IT IN 2 QUICKLY. 
MY '83 WITH 318,000 MILES STILL IS A LITTLE FUNNY FEELING ON A 1 TO 2 SHIFT IN COLD WEATHER. I WAS MORE WORRIED ABOUT IT NOT WEARING OUT THAN EASY SHIFTING THOUGH. LOVE MY 5 SPEED CARS..

ANOTHER FUNNY NOTE ON LUBE, THE BOOK GOT MY '80 EAGLE SAYE USE 10W40 IN THE TRANSFER CASE... GUESS THEY PROBABLY CHANGED TO DEXTRON WHEN THE 2/4 WHEEL DRIVE OPTION CAME OUT. 
I STARTED THE BADLY RUSTED '80 4 DOOR PARTS CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR. SHE RAN PERFECTLY.. . A GARTER SNAKE UNDER THE FRONT SEAT DIDN'T LIKE IT THOUGH. AND A RAT HAD STORED TONS OF MAPLE SEEDS AROUND THE TOP ON THE ENGINE.. AGAIN..
