the shifter... well u might wanna remove it and grease up the bottom 1/2 of the shaft and the ball looking thing on the shifter (get short shifter and do it all at once)
just go to the store and pick up some lithium grease

1- Unscrew the shifter knob
2- Pop up the radio and shifter trim to remove the &quot;leather&quot;boot Clips hold the plastic trim around the radio and the shifter. 2 clips at the rears of the shifter, 2 between the shifter and the radio, and 2 at the top of the radio.Use your hand to unclip the rear ones by grabbing the trim through the shifter hole and pull up. Then unclip the ones around the radio.
3- Unscrew four 10mm bolt to remove the body-to-shifter rubber boot.
4- Cut the lower tie-wrap that hold the tranny-to-shifter boot.
5- Under the tranny-to-shifter boot, you have to remove the inner snap ring that hold the shifter. Long nose pliers work fine for this job.
6- Pull the shifter out.
7- Use a funnel to pour oil into the shifter hole. Assembly is the reverse procedure. You need a new tie-wrap. In total there is 3 boots to remove: The visible &quot;leather&quot; boot, the body-to-shifter rubber boot and the tranny-to-shifter rubber boot. Then a snap-ring to remove and your done.

That's the fluid.
Squeaky clutch... I dunno, is it the pedal or the clutch... &nbsp;If it's the pedal, it is on a rotating swivel. &nbsp;Grease that. &nbsp;If it's the clutch, I've never heard of it. &nbsp;Get a new one mabey.

Fluid... Redline 75w-140NS for the transmission. &nbsp;It is excellent for old synchros. &nbsp;Definatly a good choice. &nbsp;Also, I hear Motul is good. &nbsp;If you can find it.

how do i remove the old fluid to put the new fluid in the tranny?

Turkey Baster! &nbsp;I really have no idea, but I have used a &quot;man;y&quot; turkey baster to remove various fluids from different things. &nbsp;It might work.
