<< I really hate to mention this, but I'm confused on the proper Lube to
 put in my O/D-Transmission. I drained out whatever was in it, and put in
 valvoline 85-90 gear lube. GL4, GL5 rating. After about a 1000 miles or
 so my O/D started taking a long time to engage. I've heard/read to use
 engine oil, that gear lube has sulphur or something that damages internal
 parts made of certain materials.

Hi Bruce

The manual sez to use straight 30 wt. FWIW I have had good luck using 
straight 50 wt. in all my cars for years. Yes all have OD.  :-)
