Re: Crankcase oil vs. gearcase oil, etc. (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <feold@umd5.umd.edu>; Date: Fri, 28 Oct 1994 00:06:24 -0400 (EDT); And what do the good folks at Redline recommend for use in an overdrive transmission? I've been using Amsoil 80W-90 synthetic gear oil in my TR4's A-type overdrive for the past 40,000 miles or so. P; /html/british-cars/1994-10/msg01436.html (8,171 bytes)

The stuff is called motorcycle chain lube, and there are literally dozens of different brands.

69. Re: TR4A fuel pump and other questions (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <feold@umd5.umd.edu>; Date: Fri, 9 Sep 1994 23:00:27 -0400 (EDT); Peen the pump body over the ends of the shaft. Your voltage stabilizer, which supplies a constant 10V to those two gauges, has probably died.
