Default Mitchell Overdrive And Mitchell Transmission

I recently purchased a Model A that has both the Mitchell Overdrive and the Mitchell 3 speed transmission. I can not locate the paperwork that would tell me which lubricant to use in these systems. Mitchell Owners, What are you using. Thank you...Nick

Any good quality EP (extreme Pressure) gear oil - 90 grade and rated GL5.

That's exactly what Mitchell recommends.
