I have a 1925 Dodge Brothers touring car which has a non-synchro, sliding gear 3 speed transmission. Being non-synchro, shifting is a skill requiring practice but even more so than normal because the countershaft assy. is physically disconnected from gear train when in high (3rd) gear so the lube needs to have sufficient viscosity to cause motion to the countershaft or downshifting will be very difficult.
Some folks with these cars report that using Shell Omala 1500W gear oil mixed with either 0 or 00 grade grease helps significantly. My question is, what brand/type grease would be best for this purpose and will it stay mixed with the gear oil? I did search the forums and couldn't find anything applicable.
