I will try to keep this blog updated with my progress on my new project : a 1967 triumph spitfire mk3. Hoping this will help others and hoping I will get help as I would like to do things right.

Putting oil in the spitfire gearbox and overdrive
Tonight filled up the gearbox in preparation for the (soon to be I hope) first drive.
There's square plug on the side where to fill from until it overflows. Used a funnel and small tube, long process.
Had done some internet research last year and decided to go with 30 motor oil oil non detergent.
I used gl for the diff because there are some bronze washers or something like that inside for the gearbox seems like people are happy with non detergent.
Anyway i have a much bigger problem because the day I could start test drivng it I realized 3rd jumps out of gear...
Gotta use gear oil!!! Gl-4
