Reference: Manual Transmission Oil

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Wayne, very good subject!

My first question is: do the CMP drive lines have brass/ bronze bushings? I was not aware of that.

Here is a list of modern replacement lubricants which Hendrik van Oorspronk published in one of the issues of Keep The Rolling magazine. I now wonder if the lubricants listed here are the correct ones?

Regards,
Hanno
