I'm using STP Oil Treatment (link) and stock rubber sealed bearings. Perhaps Sikeston was running less RPMs back then. Mine leaked like a sieve, everywhere except the parts I had siliconed together. My transmission has seen over 1 year of heavy use, so perhaps a new transmission won't leak as bad. I think I can seal it up well, but that will take a complete break down and clean up again . . . for that I'll wait till this gear gives up it's ghost which hopefully won't be for a very long time.
