I noticed no one is making recommendations for the transmission fluid or the differential. Anyone, anyone, Bueller?
For the trans, i'd run mobil 1 atf. The rear, maybe Higher performance lubes 75w90. Its a light car, don't need a heavier oil.I noticed no one is making recommendations for the transmission fluid or the differential. Anyone, anyone, Bueller?

Sure that's not in millimeters - or missing a zero? If not, better get some of that 25W-70 from Australia, lol.The factory manual states the main bearings are clearanced at +.025 to .030" and the connecting rods bearings are +.013 to .018".
Good eyes, LOL. I didn't even notice.Sure that's not in millimeters - or missing a zero? If not, better get some of that 25W-70 from Australia, lol.
I ran GM Synchromesh in the T56 we put in my fox body."For all TKX 5-speed models, TREMEC recommends TREMEC High Performance Manual Transmission Fluid (HP-MTF™), GM Synchromesh™ or Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF.Fluid capacity is 2.7 quart / 2.6 liter."
Yeah, I think you're correct - mains should have been .0025 - .0030 in. and rods should have been .0013 - .0018 in.Sure that's not in millimeters - or missing a zero? If not, better get some of that 25W-70 from Australia, lol.
I would run the 15w50 as well, because I don't know how one would have this kind of car and not beat on it... Does not compute.If I was going to beat on it, one of the air cooled P car crowds favorites is M1 V-Twin, its a very stout oil so I would probably do that or M1 15/50.
