What transmission fluid do you use in a 60 Bugeye?

No. The trans in a Bugeye should have motor oil as lube, preferably 30W non-detergent. The transmissions in our cars were designed with yellow metal components that are not compatible with most gear oils. Use motor oil per the factory manuals.

Non detergent 30 weight motor oil or 20/50 weight motor oil like VR1 is the ticket.
