make sure the vehicle is level and allowing the lubricant to settle
for a minute before checking. This will ensure an
accurate check and avoid an underfill or overfill condition.
HARD SHIFTING
Hard shifting is usually caused by low lubricant
level, improper or contaminated lubricants. This will
cause noise, excessive wear, internal bind, and hard
shifting. Substantial lubricant leaks can result in
gear, shift rail, synchro, and bearing damage. The
first indications of component damage is usually hard
shifting and noise.
Shift component damage, clutch adjustment, worn
pressure plate or disc are also causes of increased
shift effort. If clutch problem is advanced, gear clash
during shifts can result. Worn or damaged synchro
rings can cause gear clash when shifting into any forward
gear. In some new or rebuilt transmissions,
new synchro rings may tend to stick slightly causing
hard or noisy shifts. In most cases, this condition will
decline as the rings wear-in.
TRANSMISSION NOISE
Most manual transmissions make some noise during
normal operation. Rotating gears generate a mild
whine that is audible, but generally only at extreme
speeds.
Severe, highly audible transmission noise is generally
the initial indicator of a lubricant problem.
Insufficient, improper or contaminated lubricant will
promote rapid wear of gears, synchros, shift rails,
forks and bearings. The overheating caused by a
lubricant problem, can also lead to gear and bearing
damage.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - DRAIN AND FILL
(1) Raise and support vehicle.
(2) Remove drain plug (Fig. 2) on transmission tail
housing and drain fluid.
(3) Install drain plug.
(4) Remove transmission fill plug on left side of
the transmission case.
(5) Fill transmission with Mopart Synthetic Manual
Trans Lubricant 75W-85. The transmission is full
when the fluid level is even with the bottom of the
fill hole.
(6) Install transmission fill plug.
Instead of what Mopar suggest I use Redline D4 ATF I likes its properties.But it is a little expensive ranging from $6.99-$9.99
Patrick likes Mobil 1 ATF which is easier to get and also a great substitute.
It will take 4-5 qts to refill, I got 6 to have extra for later.
