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

[adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Sandwich Maker)]

i've heard that racing chaps used motor oil back in the day.
redlike sounds better though.

" From: wrambler242 <wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx>

" 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.
