Synthetic in an M41? 120-130 1966

The issue is with the tranny. In my experience the bearings give out
at about 100,000 miles or less. That is one of the reasons why I got the
M410 - I had new bearings put in the original M400 in Panama in about 1973 or
1974 and by 1981, when I was back in Panama again, it got noisy again.
I found an M410 in Pennsylvania, shipped to me in parts, about 1988 or
so and put it in and it is noisy now. I have another M410 that I will put
in when either the noise bothers me too much or there is some other problem.
(They seem to work OK in spite of the noise, which I think comes from the
layshaft bearings, since it is worst in 2nd and 3rd.) I have not had that
problem with M40 or M41 trannies. Someone told me once that the layshaft
bearings in the M400/410 don't get lubed as well as they should.
