        Lightweight oil in a B gearbox????  What is the recommended oil for
        a MGB early series II {all syncro} gear box?  I thought it took 90
        wt.
        
        & do you mean I should have put non-detergent oil in my TR4 gearbox
        because of problems with the syncro rings???


I was looking through the Moss catalog this weekend and came across a few
tidbits of information regarding oil:

Moss says that the factory recommends 30 wt. oil in the tranny (and 20 wt.
in the carbs, such as motorcycle fork oil).

I think that 90 wt. is recommended for the rear differential and maybe the
steering rack.

If anyone has an original manual it might be worth checking.
