Your basic 80-90W gear lube would be OK. I also bought a heavier duty one once. I bought some tougher stuff - something like 90-110W. Both worked fine but heavier was tougher to shift when it was real cold out. JK


Always looking for my next project!

Oh, yea. You'll need at least 3 quarts of lube, but I'd buy 4 just to be safe! You can always take the 4th back if you don't need it. JK

Dean,

Hey Mark,

Doin ok - still have the A12 B5 bee. I've been following your car on the survivors thread. It looks - AWESOME!!!. If you put even half the effort you put in the Sport Fury (I know you are going full guns on the Charger), that car will stand out!! Can't wait to see the results.

To be honest I've seen others restorations. I think what you've done is in league with the best!
