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

[Glen Hoag <hoag@xxxxxx>]

Frank,
My copy of Supplement No. 1 (covering 1983 vehicles) specifies 
AMC/Jeep SAE 90 or 80W-90 Gear Lubricant  (page 99, section 
2B).  This is probably the same as the change made in TB 2-1-82 (or 
TB 2-3-82), which was superceded by TB 2-5-82, mentioned in my other 
post on this topic.

1984 through 88 vehicles are covered in M.R.251, which specifies 
AMC/Jeep/Renault Manual Transmission Fluid Part No. 8983 000 000 for 
both the T-4 and T-5. (Page E-3)  This is the lubricant that was 
known as "fish oil".

Modern Driveline 
<http://www.moderndriveline.com/Technical_Bits/t5_history.htm> states 
that one should use SAE 75 gear oil for non World-Class T-5 (and by 
implication, T-4) transmissions, due to cold weather shifting issues 
with SAE 80W-90 gear oils.
