Ethan,

Yep, one & the same! Pains me so much I missed that one, being broke is a blessing & a curse I guess. I would have parted it after a while, probably... so I'm glad someone here got it.

Yeah, the guy before you bought it in San Jose, and that owner had it for about 8 years of daily driving. I still have his email/phone if you think you'd like it. I'd be curious what the guy you got it from did to it aside from the Hydras.

As for the M41: I don't use one, so I don't know. Frankly, I avoid them because of the amalgamation of delicate hydraulics, heavy-duty gears, and solenoid activation. it all seems contradictory to me.

In the gearbox, I'm a big fan of Gear Oil.
In hydraulics, ATF. I think the J-type likes ATF type A.
If you have something that calls for both, like the M41, motor oil should work, something medium weight. Expect some wear.

I don't know a thing about Redline MTF. Whatever you use ought to be mineral based, or it will affect the hydraulic seals in the OD.
