Transmission fluid and rear diff fluid??
What kind of Manual transmission fluid and rear diff fluid is recommended for 86 non turbo. I just got my vehicle running and need to flush all fluids, coolant, engine oil, tranny fluid, rear diff and brake fluid all need to be changed. Just wondering what is recommended.
Thanks
Thanks

I use Red Line products in the trans and diff. Regular gear oil will cause difficult shifting when in cold temps.

If it's just your daily driver you really don't need the redline oils. I would go by what the FSM recommends and based on the kind of weather there is in your area. I have personally used 80w90 all year round and never experienced any problems shifting. Even on days were the temperature reached below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

In fact, dealers were using ATF in manual transmissions back in the '80's to correct the problem.
