I won't guarantee that it's safe, and I wouldn't take any chances on something as critical as a transmission. But as long as the Syncromesh is safe for yellow metals it should be fine. Redline isn't THAT expensive, considering its meant to last 50,000+ miles on a fill $40 is a very reasonable price. there are a couple Amsoil dealers here on the site who could probably get you a good deal on some gear oil through them.

But I also wonder if it is done by design.. or if the accountants went on the attack. I had a similar humming in second and third on my BA-10... drained the old NASTY fluid out and refilled it with good fluid and the noise went away. I normally fill through the shifter hole just so I can get a touch more into it.

So is gl-5 fine in the puegot then?
