I have a 2001 dodge dakota 4.7 Lt 5 sp manual how many quarts of fluid do I need what kind do I use also dose auto zone sell the gasket all have to replace?

 

5-1/2 qts, 75W-90 gear oil. Should be just plugs to drain it and fill it. No gasket.

 

Not in a Dakota.

It takes 4.8 pints, almost 2 1/2 quarts of Mopar Manual Transmission Fluid p/n 4761526 (updated number is 4874464). That is the ONLY fluid that is recommended for the NV3500. GM also has the same fluid for their version, p/n 12377916

Pennzoil and Amsoil make "syncromesh" fluid which meet the requirements (MS-9224).

It is not 75w-90 gear oil.

 

Synchromesh is very good manual trans lube. It's better than OEM Mopar MTL and costs about half. I have used both Synchromesh and Mopar MTL and my transmission always shifts better, shifts smoother and runs quieter on Synchromesh.
