Re: Wrong Gear Oil?
Mitchell recommends 85W-140 GL5 gear oil for their transmissions and overdrives for the Model A. Oils have come a long way in 90 years and the modern oils have additives to maintain the oil film under pressure. The 85W-140 is fairly thick oil. I use it in my transmission and rear end.
If the transmission is too full it will leak. New gaskets and seals will stop leaks.
