Hey everyone,

I'm new to this forum. I inherited my grandfather's 1952 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup! I've been driving it around for the last two years and trying to figure out how to work on it myself. All of this is new to me but it is A LOT of fun! I have a question about the transmission oil. The manual calls for 1 1/2 pints of 90 weight gear oil to be put in the transmission fill hole. I have seen some who also put oil into the ball housing/universal joint filler plug hole. Manual says this isn't necessary because that joint gets its lubrication from the transmission. Does it help to put a few ounces in the universal joint filler hole? Will this overfill the transmission? If so, is there any harm in having a little more in there?

Any help on this topic will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Pastor Matt
