I've had some good luck so far going through the initial maintenance stuff on 
the TR4. My 
next task for tomorrow is the transmission and rear diff.

I've got oil for the tranny (25/50 racing, as per the fact that I could find 
it). I want to do a full 
drain, since I have no idea what is in there now. I've found the drain plug on 
the tranny itself, 
as well as the sight/filler plug. Is there a separate drain on the overdrive 
too? I seem to 
remember there was some sort of filter that could be cleaned out on the OD. 
While I'm in 
there, might as well get it all good.

For the diff, I'm just going to top off. Geo mentioned he used Castrol Hypoid 
gear oil. I saw 
this at the local Pep Boys, so I may go this route. Are there different 
grades/specs of this, or 
just the one?

Thanks again for the assistance. My knowledge grows apace, but I'm still just a 
wee bitty 
sapling here!
