[TR] transmission/clutch

[John Summers]

I thought I had the silver bullet today.  I had read what type transmission oil to use.Had a couple ideas working.  One was go to NAPA and get the oil.  I did with the nicecounterman help find a Quart of SAE 80W90 and a pretty cool hand pump that would pump it upthrough the drain hole.  I found a hose to which I wrapped the right amount of tape so this tubewent into the hole without losing a drop.  Generally, I got the entire quart in the gearbox with very littlespillage.  I couldn't wait to fire the beast up and run through the gears.  Which I did.  The first go through went like BUTTER. Then I took it out of gear eased up on the clutch and went back to square 1No entry into the holy 4speed.  Took a look at the clutch master and I could see dark fluid. So, I guess my next purchase will be new gaskets.   Do I need more fluid in the transmission?  I still can't getthe bolt out where I could see it's being topped off.   Hey Jacksonville guys, any hands on helpwould be greatly appreciated..  For example, my wife has two Dr. Appointments tomorrow.  While at NAPAI picked up the Haynes Repair Manual hoping to get a breakthrough clue about the mysterious shut off switch.Hertz is getting rich off us.  Anyway, I'll post this in the Six Pack also.  The more the merrier.
