My new TKO had no technical documentation in the box!
What lub is most people using?
The wires and terminals for(I think-neutral and a digital computer pick off) just ignor them? I'm not planning to use either function

Use GM Syncromesh #12345349 This is an excellent synthetic (Even though it is made by General Motors). When I bought my TKO there was paperwork in it recommending ONLY this fluid! It is available at most parts houses. I did not hook up any of the switches. I installed mine in a 1963 Galaxie. My trans was a little stiff shifting and a little noisy, but time and miles are helping both. Later, David.

GN,

Tremec specs. GM Synchromesh transmission fluid (GM part no. 12345349) or optional automatic transmission fluid (Dextron II).
The other connections are for the Backup Lamp Switch and Neutral Safety Switch.
