[TR] TR3 rear end

[DAVID MASSEY]

I've used Redline MTL and/or MT90 in my transmissions and diff's for years with no issues.  There are other synthetic gear lubs that will serve as well, I'm sure.  Check the label.  If it says it is GL4 compatible you're good to go.

 Once upon a time I was told not to use GL-5 in a TR6 transmission because it ate the brass parts.  I've also seen comments about Redline being good.  I'd wait for a proper response from somebody that can provide good advice.

I happen to have several bottles of this. Any reason not to use it in the differential on my 58 TR3a? It was just rebuilt and i need to fill it
