[Healeys] Tranny and OD drain plugs

[Ronald J. Ray]

John,

Your email seems to contradict one from David Nock some weeks back when he
said:

	"The gearbox and overdrive call for 30 wt oil. The MTL is a 75W/80 wt GL4
gear oil that has a SAE viscosity of 10/ 30 wt engine oils.

	The MT 90 is a 75W90 wt GL4 gear oil and the viscosity is that of a  90wt
gear oil which is to heavy for the Healey gearbox."

MT90 if formulated to be compatible with older transmissions that
contain bronze metal parts. Also MTL supposedly is too slippery for use
in overdrive units and can cause slippage.  John Mitchell
