The Ford Barn

For starters I'm in the process of rebuilding a 41 3 speed Tran.

What has made me wake up a bit was the condition of the shaft, inside of the casting and gears. The significance/need to change the oil in both Tran. And Banjo) is clear to me now regardless how few miles I put on the car. Condensation seems to be a bit of an enemy for many of us and we may not know it. I would most likely not be writing this if I lived in other parts of the country.

Certainly I've missed the boat on this one a bit as I was in the camp of "there isn't the need". I actually believe now it should just be done once a year regardless.

Any suggestions on the best oil to use?
