Thanks for the information. Guess I'll be doing some reading as well as ordering in some of the older type oils and doing top ups.
I know that on most standard transmissions, it depends on the driven (engine side) to provide the lubrication, especially at the little bearing between the input shaft and the output shaft. The result of a 5 mile tow with the powertrain still connected (and the transmission in neutral) would often cost a transmission repair. And the M113 as well as the M109 both required you to disconnect the side shafts to the final drives if you were towing any distance, or break track if the damage was in the final drive.
