Ok good to know about the oil. I'm thinking i'll with Mobil 1 Synthetic... Up here in the cold it's necessary to have oil that moves in the cold.
I bought the transmission off the parts thread. It came with a 617 manual FW which i'm picking up from the machine shop today. I have a front driveshaft piece from a factory manual wagon. I HOPE it fits...it was just a hair short when i put in the 240 manual. This one is a little longer so i'm thinking it's going to work

Sounds like your getting it together, The flywheel is nice to have. Like I said, I have no idea where that post about the rattle came from, But I have the rattle in two trannies and the heavier oil helped. Good luck on the drive shaft thing.
I put in the wrong throw out bearing when I swaped in a 5 spd and had to pull the tranny twice before I figured it out, DOH
