[Healeys] Tranny oil?

[pennell at cox.net]

Scott,

I just finished replacing tranny and OD oil.  Using the reco of several on the list and the fact that the Redline MTL is the 30 wt I went with it.  It is available from Summitt for about $10 per qt inc s and h.

On a subsequent 25 or so mile drive the OD kicked in and out very smoothly.  Before it was a bit klunky at times.  Shifting was a little smoother but not hugely so.
