Well, it is about time to replace the manual transmission fluid in my
84 Honda Civic, and lo and behold the transmission fluid in this car is
supposed to be 10w-30 or 10w-40 engine oil.  Now I have gotten to 
thinking, since I am using Mobil-1 in the engine and am very
impressed with it, why not put it in the transmission too?

I seem to recall this being discussed before, but I'm not sure.  Any
reason why you would not want a more-than-normally slippery oil
in a manual transmission?

If you would be so kind as to mail responses to me, I'll summarize.

Thanks IA        Steve Spearman  ihnp4!ihopb!spear
