I was just looking at my owners manual for my TR4A.  I saw the section
regarding lubricants.  The book recommends the same lubricant as the
differential!  Hypoid 90, etc.  Such as 90/140 EP.

I'd think that modern 75w-90 gear oil should be a good match.  As some
people have pointed out, the GL-5 may have a negative impact on
the brass/copper parts.

Does anyone have a reference to the inadvisability of using GL-5
in our transmissions?  Everything I have heard is hear-say.  I am looking
for someone who REALLY KNOWS what the GL-5 will do....
