I heard about this as one of those upgrades without changing appearance but i didnt get any info on how to go about it. Mine is a 36 and that is the same year i heard this mentioned about.

Originally most of the boxes had 90wt gear oil in them but got packed with grease when they leaked the gear oil out as fast as you could put it in.
