Question about Manual transmission fluid

[jesse3638]

That sounds about right. I bought the oil to do it a few months ago but never got around to it. I think I only bought 2 quarts. I’m on my way home now I’ll check when I get there in a few minutes. I think I went off the write up here on WAYALIFE for the quantity needed

The write up says 3 the dealership says 2 and the manual was even more helpful...:crazyeyes:

I just looked and I bought 4 quarts. I must have gone off the write up on here.

Everywhere that google sends me for the capacity (Quadratec, Extreme terrain, and Morris 4x4) is showing 1.6 quarts. FWIW

Thanks also want to confirm the hex bolts are 15mm and 17mm? I saw on the write up the 1/2" coupler nut mod.

You’re supposed to stop when full? Hmm.

That's what I did and it ran down and started dripping off the belly.

You should stop before that. You have too many offspring already.

Can never have to many!

All kidding aside I got this done yesterday. It took just under 2 quarts until it began to seep out. Went on a drive right after and maybe its all the placebo affect, but after a few miles and several runs through the gears I swear it is shifting much smoother. I had 41K on it, about 10k more than the recommended change interval. Shifts, especially from 2nd to 3rd and down shifts, were feeling "crunchy". That feeling is gone now.

Hi everyone,
Just had a question about the manual transmission fluid, has anyone used the royal purple synchromax or the pennzoil sychromesh? Please let me know what you think

Is that used instead of 75w90 or just as an additive?

I thought that too but once I began doing my research I discovered FCA uses a different type of oil for the manual trans. I was used to heavy weight gear oil but the mopar fluid is more like automatic transmission fluid. Plus it's crazy expensive.

I replaced mine (that was shifting fine) with Mopar manual transmission fluid about 20k miles ago. It is kinda expensive, but I figure "don't fix it if it ain't broke". It's still doing fine at 120k. I wonder if I still have the tool I had to make to remove the PITA plug...
