The trans in my recently acquired 29 was low, so I filled it with a mixture of 140 and 25% STP. I Have basically put it up for the winter now, but was wondering if there is a better grease to use in a leaker, besides the 600w stuff that has to be ordered from specialty shops. I was a snapper OPE dealer for 40 years, and snapper uses "00" grease in virtually every gearbox. Tiller worm gears, snowblowers, rider mowers, etc, etc. I was wondering if it would be good in the transmission in my A? It wouldn't leak as much I am sure, as Snapper gearboxes aren't really sealed that good, and any other grease in them leaks out but not the "00".
