All of those have to do w A/C.
It's cheeeeeeeeeper sometimes for the factory to make ALL the cars the same in some minor ways, than to make different ones with $.0002 of stuff left out and have to deal with getting em mixed up, stocking 2 parts, etc. etc. etc.

Should be gear lube. 75W-90 Mobil1 is the best commonly available IMO. Avoid the real thick stuff. Ignore the people who tell you to use ATF, even though the factory(es... LOTS of car mfrs used the T-5) recommend it, in your type (1st design), with its brass blocker rings, ATF does nothing positive. The reason the factories recommended it had to do with gas mileage, not "function". So, if you want your trans to last just barely long enough to get through a 1983 warranty (12k or whatever it was back then), use ATF. Otherwise, use gear lube.
