Re: [AMC-list] Fw: oil for an '82 T5 tranny from my Spirit GT? -

Redline MTL is a perfect fit. 
No GL5 to eat brass and other items in the non world class T5. 
It's full synthetic, stays the same viscosity. 

There will probably be a big uproar over rights and wrongs. 
AMC started specing the ATF, that's what TSMs will show. 
The T5's failed. 
AMC moved to a custom concoction of Gear lube properties that smelled really foul. 
It's not available. There is a bulletin about the lube change. Was supposed to be added into the TSM, most never got in there. 
ATF will probably hold up in normal driving, but I would not risk it. 
Call around to Modern driveline and a few other T5 shops, 
They will tell you atf is not the correct lube in a non world class AMC T5. 
I run MTL in both my American and my 97 XJ Cherokee. Good stuff.
