What is the correct fluid type to use for a Manual trans? My book says Mopar MTX fluid or equivilent. I don't really wan to goto the dealer to get the fluid. Does anyone know what the equivilent is???

 

I read your PM, sorry though I have a ATX [sm=imsorry.gif]

 

Actually Chrysler is now recommending ATX fluid in the MYTXs as well. But check with your local dealer first and see what they say.

 

Actually, its ATF +3, I figured it out. I went to Autozone and they told me 10W-30, I started laughing then the guy realized that he looked up engine oil, but for a minuted he insisted it was 10W-30. Thank god I know what I am talking about or I would have a really f**cked up trans right now.

 

yeah I go to the dealer first because the people at auto zone are a far cry from rocket scientist. My friend was changing the 3rd brake light on an old eclipse on time and the guy at autozone insisted he take the light off. 5 minutes later we had a stripped screw and still a burned out brake light.

 

Actually it depends on the year, the early years I believe do use 10W30 motor oil in the manual transmission. The newer and current manuals use ATF.
