[V8Vairs] MTF,and gear oil..

[streblerm at sbcglobal.net]

I am running a sealed (shielded?) Bearing between my powerglide and differential. I don't know for sure that it will work, but it seems good so far, I just keep hoping and checking the tranny fluid :)

Since it seems to be working to keep the auto trans fluid, which is under pressure, from mixing with the gear lube, It should work even better on a manual trans where the oil is basically just hanging out. 

On another note, the PO's solution in my car was just to run dexron in the differential. Let's just say I have never seen a R&P with more wear. Of course, they also welded the spider gears, so what did I expect. 

Good luck,

..with my power-train "in", I want to add the lube for the trans-axle..I didn't drill the hole for oil transfer between the cases-on purpose- as I want to run the 'newer-car' manual trans oil in the Saginaw,but keep the 80/90/140 diff lube ..my only concern is if the shielded rear mainshaft bearing will keep the different oils from mixing..any thoughts??..Tom Z..
