viven44 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I definitely have Prime, but no phone #. I'm too easily frustrated with situations like this to bother over $15. They've failed to deliver literally one time out of hundreds. It's not a hill to die on when you're dealing with a leviathan. Don't believe there is a phone number. You chat with them. Hope link below works when you are logged in. https://www.amazon.com/message-us?ref_=fs_hub_gateway_mu¶digm=foresight&muClientName=foresightCsai If above doesnt work then try the below https://www.amazon.com/Live-Chat/s?k=Live+Chat Click contact us --> Something else --> Some thing else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco638 Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 I definitely have Prime, but no phone #. I'm too easily frustrated with situations like this to bother over $15. They've failed to deliver literally one time out of hundreds. It's not a hill to die on when you're dealing with a leviathan. I totally get this and $15 isn't worth the time or effort. And, yes, maybe it is a chat session over the 'net. My wife always seems pretty pleased after one of those sessions so they must tilt in our favor. That said, pick your battles, Jim...

Bronco638 Posted August 20 Author Share Posted August 20 I'm thinking it must be C5TZ-7513-A, the same as any previous ones. When I go into applications this is what I find for 1980... but I know it's the same for 82, & 3 It changed for '84 because that's when the Windsor pattern bell trucks got hydraulic clutch. https://a.co/d/2OVYehi I finally had an opportunity to drain the trans., clean the inside of the clutch housing and the outside of the transmission. I was able to confirm that the above part number is correct and fits perfectly. While I ordered it thru Amazon (from a company called Auto Krafters), the part came in zip top bag with a Dennis Carpenter sticker on it. Now, I need to figure out what kind of lubricant to put back in the trans. The old lube has a red tint to it but I do not think it's ATF. It has a hint of the differential gear lube smell but isn't as viscous. Although, the FSM says it's supposed to be 80 weight. I'm pretty sure we ran 80w90 gear lube in the GT-350s.

I was just reading through some of the posts and saw your comment about running 80-90 wt gear lube in the GT350s. I ran that in mine, I actually never had the close ratio T10 as the transmission had been "stolen". I was told the police had recovered it and I should be able to get it back from them with the car titled in my name. Not quite, the Suffolk VA police never even had a report, they said he probably sold it. The engine was out of the car and in a local machine shop (that's how I got the car, owner told me the car was for sale). I wound up with two different transmissions, a wide ratio T10 and a Ford toploader. For street use, the wide ratio was great. Detroit locker was gone, rear end gear was a 4.56, which did get replaced with a proper 3.89 gear and a new "silent" Detroit locker (if that was silent, I really do not want to hear the non-silent one). I had the car for 11 years, 1970 through 1981, sold it because we had 3 kids and needed the money. Current owner is in Sidney, NSW, Australia, car was SFM6S2050. Here is a picture: This was at a high speed event at an, at the time, unused portion on a local airfield, this a turn from one taxiway onto one runway. It was called "Corvette corner" because 19 of the first 20 cars spun trying to make it, car 20 was a GT350, not mine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco638 Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 Could be Redline MTL.... 💡 Thanks for the reminder Jim. There's been a thread going on over at FTE and I recall Redline MTL was posted by one member. Of course, everyone has the 'magic sauce' for your application... Is there anything that's 80 weight and made for transmissions (like the old SROD) anymore? Or, are there only modern lubricants that will work in old(er) gearboxes? I have no issue with using modern lubricants but would prefer something that won't attack soft metals (like syncros) and not breakdown. The SROD has a reputation for not being 'up to snuff' and I'd prefer not to test that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SROD has a reputation for not being 'up to snuff' and I'd prefer not to test that. It's not the multi-viscosity thing that attacks brass, it's chlorine that eats zinc. This stuff is usually added for limited slip fluid so the clutches stay clean and don't glaze. I can't really say which gear oils have, or DON'T have it, but one whiff will tell you. If there's an oil analysis over on BITOG you can know for sure. I'm only getting 15 minutes for lunch today, so I can't look right now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco638 Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 I can't really say which gear oils have, or DON'T have it, but one whiff will tell you. Would that be the distinctive smell of 80w90 gear oil? The fluid I drained had a hint of that but not as strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fluid I drained had a hint of that but not as strong. It's a bit different, obviously you have the extreme pressure additive smell, but chlorine is a distinct overtone. (?) Maybe it's just that I'm old enough to remember the different refinery smells (and paint factories, and my dad's plastic plants, etc..) in northern New Jersey. My neurodivergent senses and 'special' interest in energetic chemistry mean I'm well aware of danger! It's federal law that they have to provide you with an SDS at the point of purchase, so just ask the sales person, or look it up online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
