RE: Looking for posi for AMC 20

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I forgot all about using that stuff in trannies!!!
We did it all the time on the manual trans!
I'll be dumping a bottle in the non world class T-5 when it goes in! It uses 70 weight gear lube. I'd be a cautious in using it in the newer trans with the carbon fiber blockers and such, but the non world class T-5 is an old fashioned beast.
