    Everything stated about the A series box is correct and 1st gear is noisy. That being said it also had rather weak layshaft bearings and the bearings loosening up will make it noisier. Replacing the layshaft and the needle bearings is usually requires at overhaul. For driving conditions in the US SAE 30 is too light. An SAE 50 would be a better choice. 75W90 is too heavy and doesn't circulate in the needle bearings.

    Hi Port, those instructions are correct for a new crate engine that may have been sitting for a long time. I would not consider 3 months parked as any issue for these engines. If the engine had fresh good oil when parked you are good to go.
