Just stabbed home the tranny and X-member tonight..... It was way easier putting it in then taking it out..... I put the tranny in the leaning motor then put the c-member on all the way towards the tranny.... Jacked up the tranny then slid it in place.... After that was buttoned up I put the new AC Delco slave cylinder in and reverse bled the clutch hydraulic system..... Just have to pick up my amzoil syncromesh and fill her up and put on the exhaust and hope she moves again

[QUOTE=dizwiz24;1581803511]Do not use the castrol bmw crap. That stuff is for bmw's not your transmission.
Spot on. The Hurst is the best bang for the buck.
The Castrol is a good choice, it's ZF's choice, and ZF is a German transmission.
I will say that the Amsoil isn't a bad choice. If it's worked then it works.
We have used the Castrol, [ [$9.00 a liter] and it's slick as Owl Poop, but I can see the problem up north. It is a 50 weight oil.
The Castrol availability is nice, drive down the street and pick it up, even on weekends.

I tied it all up this afternoon.... Filled the tranny with Amzoil Syncromesh and buttoned up the exhaust..... She drives fantastic and shifts smooth.... It feels so good to be sitting on the floor again.
