[AMC-list] What Lube for T-96 Overdrive?

[Joe Fulton <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I dimly remember that Tom J. mentioned his ruminations about what lube to use 
for his T-96 twin stick.   I didn't save those email threads but I'll check the 
wps website in a few minutes.  I bought 75 wt synthetic lube for the T-96 in my 
64 Classic.  I hope that's not too heavy.  I did drain it of the previous lube 
before I pulled it out, and the lube definitely was not 30 wt which is one of 
the options mentioned in the TSM.  


I'm still waiting for the 2nd/3rd gear shift rod.  I think I have one coming 
from Bruce Gasser in Los Angeles.  I  have not been able to get the modified 
shift rod created by the previous owner to fit back in place.   I plan to roll 
the car out of the garage later today and check the new clutch for proper 
operation.   I'm slow with projects but it's a hobby for me and I don't actually 
have to drive any of these cars to work.  I have new paint for the roof and I 
need to fix the turn signals, check out an oil supply problem to the head, 
reactivate the license (It's on non-op status right now.) clean it up and drive 
it.

The American is leaking tranny fluid from the front seal I think.  I hope to 
check the source of the leak later today.   It has run fine though on two trips 
to work, about 120 miles total out on the open road.
