Ian--
The designation 75/90 tells me it was GL5 diff oil which is a different
product than the GL4 Manual Transmission oils (Redline MTL or MT90). I don't
know what was the nature of your friend's transmission failure and it
might or might have been related to the lubricant, but it certainly helps to
use the correct and recommended product.
FWIW I use MT90 in my Healeys which both have Toyota 5-speeds and my Elva
which has an MGA non-overdrive CR transmission, all with good results. I
have no financial involvement with Redline though I sure wish I did!
