1933 transmission "gear" oil
 

It has been a while since I purchased Transmission gear oil. What is available now. Remember that sae 900 crap that was like refuse from a burger pit?

He CLEARLY states "1933 transmission "gear" oil" in the header....less than 1 inch away from where you question the transmission type! DD

For GL4 140 you can't beat O'Reilly's price on the shelf.

I've always used 80W90 GL4 in the trans....would I be better off running 140? Why?

33-34 trannys make less noise in low and it seems to make shifting a little better .
