[DML] Re: Manual Transmission

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Get the automatic trans fluid out of the 5-speed. It cannot properly
lubricate the final drive. Drain and refill with #85-90 gear oil. I
would drain and refill again after 500-1,000 miles. The silicone on
the seam  is normal but I am guessing the trans is moist, automatic
trans fluid is thinner than gear oil so it would leak out easier.
