I've run 90 wt. gear oil in my '74 midget's tranny
'forever'; well, since I put the 'new' one in. It has hasn't
had any problems, and since that gear shift gets REAL WARM
in the summer I suppose it provides better protection than a
thinner oil, but I could be wrong.
I've driven it in the winter with the 90 wt. and it is
not fun at all. The oil gets so thick in the winter that shifting
is like trying to stir refrigerated molasses. If you don't drive
in the winter there shouldn't be a problem, if you do, I wouldn't
use 90 wt.

PS: I just finished undercoating the new floorpans; just waiting
for the rugs to arrive so I can put the seats back in. It
will soon go from a 'permanent fixture' in the garage to
a rolling, running eyesore. Next comes the new paint.
