Re: 39 trans lube
if your only going to use it a few times during the winter and car is parked indoors I would stick with the 140w , but 85/90w sta-lube with GL4 sold at napa would be best

I always run a multi viscosity oil like 75-140. Pick your favorite brand.

Re: 39 trans lube
One minor correction, there is no such thing as 140w. "W" stands for Winter and the highest "W" rating on gear lube is 85w (some marine gear lubes are rated at 90w). The "w" rating vs the non-w rating relates to the temperature at which the lube is rated. Non-w SAE lube is rated at 212 deg F, w rated lube is rated at 0 deg F.
