Hi, i checked the oil-level right away and it was about halfway between the markings. Filled it up just in case. I use Type A transmission fluid, seemed like a good idea to use the same type as the car was made for. Earlier the tranny had some slipping between the gears but i just took the foot of the pedal when it shifted and it worked fine, until now.. The car has not been driven in years, at least 10, it was imported here in -93 and someone started to restore it. But as usual the project stalled and i bought it disassembled last winter. So far i've just done some test-driving on local roads, 100 miles or so. Will check the linkage Thanks /Jimmy
