Re: [Amc-list] T-96 woes... (factory t5 lubricant)

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

directly from 1982 TSM (83 was a supplement to the 82, nothing different about lube in the supp):

"The recommended lubricant for the SR4 transmission is SAE 85W-90 Lubricant, API Grade GL-5. T4 and T5 transmissions should be refilled with AMC Automatic Transmission Fluid or equivalent labeled Dexron II. Use the correct fluid whenever adding or replacing transmission lubricant."

Mark, you may be thinking about the SR4 instead of the T4/T5. I bet you worked on a lot more SR4s than the Ts!

Everything I have says the NWC T5 also takes ATF.  My AMC Chilton's manual 
says Dexron II.  I just checked the TREMEC service manual, and it also 
specifies Dexron II.  I've talked to my local transmission shop and they said 
ATF.  Anyone have an 83 TSM or owner's manual?  I'd to really see this 
settled one way or the other.  I have no issue with what you choose to put in 
your transmission, but for me knowing what the factory specified is an 
important part of making that choice.
