So this FB I just picked up for a daily driver screamed at me through the transmission on Saturday...it has 208,000+ mileage on it and the input shaft bearings were already making decent noise. But this new sound was even worse...

Being a broke-*** teacher and not wanting to spend $$$, I spent $60.00 today and bought Redline heavy ShockProof synthetic oil for the tranny and diff (which was chattering at low speed turns, as usual). WOW. The tranny shut up a whole lot and the diff no longer chatters. This MAY have saved me a good 4-6+ months of spending on a tranny. I'll keep you guys informed.

I say, "JUNK IT". I have a couple of FB trannies and gears left. Let me know if you need help. It seems that I will some free time in June. Im currently extending my garage so I can have a separate storage area.

So I gues YOU will be the local rotary parts supply house...actually the **** seems fine. The trans had less than recommended oil levels and soup instead of oil...this red **** was pretty gnarly. I'll let you know if it blows up soon.

Which auto part store did you go to buy redline oil?

I don't know where to get Redline in Fremont, but if you drive across the Dumbarton bridge to Redwood City you can get it at Kohlweiss on Veterans Blvd (Woodside exit from 101). If you haven't been there, Kohlweiss is a toy store for car guys and a kick to visit. Shouldn't take you more than 20 minutes to get there.
