Transmission oil in a Healey the second biggest controversy on the
list next to Brake Fluid.
The original oil as per Healey 30wt non detergent motor oil. The
problem with this oil is that it is not really a gear oil.
We use Red Line MTL. This is a specific gear oil which is a 75/80
weight gear oil which is the same viscosity as a 30 wt engine oil
We have had several cars that had problems shifting as well as some
overdrive issues and changed over to the Red Line MTL and fixed the
problems simply by changing oil.
If you use a 90wt gear oil it is not recomended on cars with a non
syncro first gear as per ALL the British manufactureres. Jaguar,
Triumph Austin, MG etc.
