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

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

I read your previous post and think I see the problem now. AMC *DID* 
recommend ATF in the T-5 in 1982. That caused problems, and you probably 
had to fix quite a few! I also went back and took a closer look at the 
1983 supplement. There IS a different lube recommendation!! I missed it 
the first time... T4 and T5 lube changed to AMC/Jeep SAE 90 or 80W-90 
Gear Lubricant. I bet there was a tech bulletin that came out sometime 
in 82 as well. Feel better now? ;> -------------- Date: Tue, 09 Sep 2008
