[Fot] J Type OD lubricant

[quicktr4]

I ran an A type for several years useing just about anything for oil. my 
fave for trans shifting was 75/90 synthetic gl5. I built a spare and used 
that oil and blew the acumulator cover off the box. I guess this one was 
putting out a bit more pressure than the old one. Need thiner oil. John at 
quatum knows tr trans listen.
