after about a year of abuse, I noticed my tranny felt a little rough, my fix was a new case, and bearings....smooth spinning after...I haven't had do do anything to the tranny, but if I have the truck apart I do spray the gears with brake cleaner, hit it with air real good, then a light spray of 3 in 1 oil( oil in spray bottle)....that is my method, my Savvy is 3+ years old

I haven't done any preventive maintenance to my 3spd in the 2 years I've had it. I haven't found a need to.[8D]

It's just what it sounds like. It's a dry lubricant. You can find it at hardware stores.
