I think that I need to use 90 weight oil in transmission and rearend. Is that correct? Not that I think it makes any difference, but it is a 3 speed.
While I am doing this, is there anything else I should do, or consider doing? Any filters or gaskets, etc.?
Thanks in advance

Let me add to my previous post a bit. I had to change my clutch out so I had my clutch disc and pressure plate rebuilt and got a new throwout bearing. I will be re-installing all of that along with putting the transmission back in.
Any helpful hints will be appreciated.

The 1934 shop manual specifies #160 in the Summer and #90 in the Winter. You can use #140 all year around as long as most of your driving is done at temperatures above freezing. I use 85W-140 as it will cover both Summer and the cooler Spring and Fall temperatures in this area.
The lurication is not problem with straight #90 in the Summer but it may tend to leak more than the #90 or 85W-140.

Chev Gene: Don't know what happened with earlier reply above, but thanks much. Just got home and got to my manuals and I will probably go with the 85/140. Appreciate it.

Chev Gene: In reading up a little bit on replacing the clutch disc, etc., the material refers to a cork gasket in the u-joint ball area. Do I have that correct? And if so, can one use cork gasket material such as a cork valve cover gasket, and just try to press it into place with a screwdriver or something similar?

No, the cork is formed into a ring. The U joint ball seal kit is available from the Filling Station.

I use 'O' rings in my uni bell, a large one under the clamp and two side by side in the end where it slips over the torque tube, I had to remove the steel flange that held the old cork one. This was done 20 years ago and has worked well

Chris: Thanks a lot. I have ordered the u joint ball seal kit from the Filling Station and it should be in Monday. I toyed with the idea of o-rings but decided to go back with the kit.
