Okay all different opinions wc or nwc . can some one please clear up which fluid is correct. atf or gear lube. my car is a 87 and checking the fluid its clear so i assume its gear oil. should i drain it and put in atf? mfg says it doesnt matter wc or nwc use atf. very confused . thanks
If the manufacturer says use ATF use ATF. (Chris Nieghbors -T5 rebuild: The Saga---
Whatever you do, do not use gear oil (e.g. 80W90) in a T5! The lubrication passages are so small on some
components that gear oil will not flow readily and lubricate properly. You stand a chance of spalling, galling, or
otherwise destroying a trans if pushed to extremes. Use Dexron II, Mercon III, or a synthetic ATF.)
Ya thats what i thought i guess ill drain it an refill with atf. btw do they make dextron 2 or 3 anymore? i thought i read where its now dextron 5. anyway thanks for the reply
