My TR3A owner's manual specifies the same lube for gearbox and diff: 90W
EP/Hypoid (80W if < 30* F).

There are some vehicles that do not do well in the long run with hypoid
in the gearbox but I have never heard that TRs are among them.  Seem to
recall some TR owners running engine oil in the gearbox, but living in a
very warm climate I've never been tempted to go that route.

AFAIK, anything other than EP/Hypoid in the diff = disaster.
