RE: [DML] Just changed to SS Clutch line, better, but REVERSE and 1st gear STILL

["michael townsley" <townfour@xxxx>]

My car was stored for over 13 years....I think I am probably using 21 year
old 90 weight oil....outside of Valvoline synthetic, what is Redline...is it
a 90 weight oil? What weight of lube oil should I use?

The only exception to this is on cars that have been stored a very 
logn 10 years) time - there are several sliding parts in the trans 
that are above the level of the oil, and with lack of use will sieze 
up over time. Often they will free up after it gets hot a few times. 
Ken K ran into this on one of his restorals - after a few weeks of 
driving some gears that were locked out started working.
