Transmission Fluid/oil question...
« on: May 05, 2008, 08:23:05 PM »
I am using the Mobil 1 Syn in the engine...dad left an empty in the saddle bag as a clue.

Not sure what he was using in the Trans, and cannot find anything other then Syn3 listed on one of the receipts and not sure if that was for the engine or the Trans...

Any suggestions for the best fluid for the trans...and while I am at it the Primary Case?

Got my manual today - wife is taking it to be cut and drilled tomorrow.

Thanks in advance!

It's convenient to have the same fluid for all three holes.  But a benefit to Mobil 1 or Amsoil or some other good engine oil in the engine, Redline in the tranny and MTL or ATF or some other product of a different texture/color/notable viscosity in the primary is that if you get a leak you'll easily know which one it is.

AMSOIL MCV in engine and primary

Bel-Ray 85W140 in transmission.  No clunk, very smooth shifting, neutral is very easy to find, and it offers the red contrast Don spoke to.  Down side is it smells awful..............and I don't mean your run of the mill funkiness................this stuff is nauseating.  Smell aside, in my my mind, there is no finer transmission oil.
