Re: Help identifying a 3spd transmission

In reading the 120 manuals, I note that it specifies SAE 160 for the transmission.

I know the trans currently has 75-90 in it (which I will remedy post haste).

This transmission really doesn't like...transitioning...between gears. It shifts and actuates like a trans should but actually getting into gear has been a frustrating problem. I know from reading the manual just now that only 2nd is synchronized. The car does NOT like going from 3rd back into 2nd...2nd to 3rd is always easy.

Could this be a function of the fluid? Is there a specific way to shift this transmission and the issues then are driver ignorance?
