[Healeys] Gearbox oil

[Team.net]

I tried Redline at one point and the gearbox leaked profusely.  Changed back to 30wtnd and now only have the typical drips.

Moral to the story: all our cars are different so what works for one may not work for others.

Non-detergent according to the theory that because there is no oil filter in the system non-detergent oil allows any wear particles to settle out of the oil instead of being continuously circulated through the mechanicals.
