ssion oil to use.Had a couple ideas working. =C2=A0One was go to NAPA and g=
et the oil. =C2=A0I did with the nicecounterman help find a Quart of SAE 80=
W90 and a pretty cool hand pump that would pump it upthrough the drain hole=
. =C2=A0I found a hose to which I wrapped the right amount of tape so this =
tubewent into the hole without losing a drop. =C2=A0Generally, I got the en=
tire quart in the gearbox with very littlespillage. =C2=A0I couldn't wait t=
o fire the beast up and run through the gears. =C2=A0Which I did. =C2=A0The=
 first go=C2=A0through went like BUTTER. Then I took it out of gear eased u=
p on the clutch and went back to square 1No entry into the holy 4speed. =C2=
=A0Took a look at the clutch master and I could see dark fluid. So, I guess=
=C2=A0my next purchase will be new gaskets. =C2=A0 Do I need more fluid in =
the transmission? =C2=A0I still can't getthe bolt out where I could see it'=
s being topped off. =C2=A0 Hey Jacksonville guys, any hands on helpwould be=
 greatly appreciated.. =C2=A0For example, my wife has two Dr. Appointments =
tomorrow. =C2=A0While at NAPAI picked up the Haynes Repair Manual hoping to=
 get a breakthrough clue about the mysterious shut off switch.Hertz is gett=
