Tranny Fluid

What kind of fluid do I put in the tranny? I'm shooting put Royal Purple all the way around...

Also, the rear end fluid too please!

I used Redline and LOVE it.....It really smooths everything out, and is a real bonus when the gearbox is still cold.

Im sure Royal Purple would work fine. Just done skimp!!!!

That's why I was bent on choosing Red Line or Royal Purple, I go for the best for my Car and it seems like they are about the same.

What type of fluid (like ATF, MercV, etc) do you use in the tranny and rear diff?

I used redline MT-90, there is also MTL but after doing lots of research i settled with MT-90 (i forgot exactly why).

I think MTL is an 80w and MT-90 is an 90w.

Good luck getting the oil in the trany....If you are using a small hose it can take a while so bank on doing other things at the same time.
