Yeah, it was wierd...probably just "gelled" from sitting for 10 years...who knows.
maxima.org does get kind of crazy sometimes. But, being a moderator/admin there (been there since '03) I'm able to "deal" with troublemakers 
As to the tranny, I'll try the kerosene. My GT6 has no shortage of rust-inhibiting gunk buildup. Making a total mess of my garage!
