<VV> RE: Tranny/diff fluid levels

[Keith Hammett]

>From the 1961 shop manual (don't have '65 at work) in the specifications
section (12-9)

Rear Axle Lubricant Capacity (Pints) 3.1
Manual Transmission Capacity (pt.) 1.9

That would be 0.625 gal total so go for the 1 gal (better check with the
wife first Norm ggg)

Not that I can find.  It says to fill the transmission when you are done
servicing it.  Quantities are not in section 0 at the front, either, as far
as I saw.  I do actually look in the manual before I ask these kinds of
questions.

Here's another twist.  The car has positrac.  Is the diff sealed from the
trans with a posi rear end, and does it need additive?
