Just read p. 266 of Norm Nock's Tech Talk book. Not only did I highlight the
warning statement:
"Do not use EP90" weight oil in Healey gearboxes, I underlined it so to help
remember and review it in the future.
A good friend recently experienced a damaged-beyond-use sideshift gearbox in
his '60 BN7. The net resulting cost (aside from no driving fun for at least
half a year) will be a $1500-$2000 exchange replacement rebuilt gearbox (from
Quantum in Connecticut) some day in the future.
The relevance you wonder ? He'd been using RedLine gearbox fluid-oil EP75-90 !
