<VV> [FC] Drain plug installation--64 FC manual transaxle

[John Howell]

Mobile One Synthetic Gear Lub sure makes things work smoother, it is used in 
the Corvette and Tahoe, maybe others.
I had a vehicle one time with a BW-T5 Five Speed transmission that when I 
went out in the morning to start it up and the temperature was down in the 
teens it felt like I was going to bend the gear shift trying to move it to 
neutral.
I replaced the fluid with the Mobile One Gear Lub and it shifted like it was 
already warmed up !  Great Stuff !

 Be careful with the STP. I am not really sure that it is rated as an EP 
lube. Read the container very carefully, you could be doing more harm than 
good with the STP.

i have not seen the need to change the fluid in the  STD transmission  , or
the differential unless other damage has occurred , in which case it would
be all apart in my parts washer getting cleaned properly , and bearings
carefully checked , along with ALL new seals etc. then i put a strong magnet
inside to hold any damaging filings that might happen., oh i put STP or such
in  with the grease so lube does not drain off when setting.
