Nonetheless, for an 'off the shelf' lubricant, Mobil 1 Synthetic Extreme Performance 15,000 mile 5w30 is where it's at. It is simply the author's educated opinion based upon research and contact with lubricant manufacturers as well as implementation in his own vehicle that said product will perform as necessary.

Whether this was due to Daimler desires or functional considerations is unknown. After buying a Smart Parts transmission I'm starting to like my truck again. Towing generates a lot of heat. I sure don't want to ruin my transmission putting the wrong oil in it.
I'd like to use the Valvoline if I can, but I sure don't want problems any with my transmission or differential. For 1997 Dakotas, a high-efficiency clutch hydraulic system provided smoother pedal operation, using higher internal pressure for greater precision, reduced hysteresis the difference in operating force between release and engagement , and started engagement closer to the floor. Normal noises include an audible whine at extreme speeds; other noises are usually due to lubricant issues. So - I filled up on the Pennzoil, and within a few hours of driving, the transmission started to quiet down - not a lot, but enough that it was noticeable. A standard 'dinosaur' crude-oil engine oil would likely meet this demand, however it would require too frequent a change interval to prevent sludging and oil breakdown for transmissions. Jeep bolted the bellhousing to the transmission case; Dodge did not.
Please call or click on the tab for acceptable core conditions and details. I went to the Dodge dealer and bought 5 quarts of Mopar manual transmission lube it is part 4874464. That's the Mopar lube for my transmission. It sounds like a success doesn't it? I'll get the Pennzoil Synchromesh and the Valvoline conventional gear oil and be done with this. The use of regular gear and axle lubricants in this transmission can cause destruction. Jeep used it later with its legendary engine. Applications Important: These are believed to be the applications but some of these vehicles may have variants, e.
To make engagement of the first and second gears easier, the 1-2 synchronizer had a dual-cone design that reduced shift effort by up to 40%. The force reduction resulted from addition of a second friction load path. How many miles can you safely run the Pennzoil Synchromesh? It's a shame too because they had a great parts staff and were also just a few blocks away from my office. I'm sure Redline or Amsoil have their equivalent as well. The clutch housing is not a removable component. Only you can be the judge; consider your driving habits and the work level you use your vehicle at industrial, moderate towing, light towing, simply daily commuting, other. Use of the Mobil 1 product for this purpose constitutes acceptance of this disclaimer.
Bottom line Walter still needs 3 quarts to do the oil change, so he will have enough no matter what. Thanks for you guys setting me straight on this. The transmission gear case consists of two aluminum housings. However, when other people are driving your vehicle, or if you learned how to drive stick on your vehicle, or — whatever — you're going to want to cut that down to a 50,000 mile change interval or so. In fact, 10w40 is about the same consistency under thermal stress as 75w90 gear oil. The hardened bearings that we use are designed to withstand tremendous pressure and increase your transmissions longevity.
You can go longer between changes. It does not differentiate between 4wd or 2wd. Because we use so many new parts, our rebuild process doesn't require a perfect core to be sent back. . I am not so well versed with gear lube so any info is very much appreciated. A roller bearing is used between the input and output shafts. Hard shifting, noise, wear, and internal binding are usually caused by lubricant issues — dirty gear oil, low levels, or the wrong lubricant.
I used the Mopar lube last time but the Dodge dealer where I bought it has closed his doors. For two-wheel drive, it had a long output shaft and rear case; the four-wheel-drive version had a short output shaft and rear case. The Valvoline 75w-90 conventional is half the price of synthetic. A combination of roller and ball bearings are used to support the transmission shafts in the two housings. One of two rear case housings were used depending on if the vehicle was two- or four-wheel drive. Now that I see there are different part 's I know I am wrong.
Upon draining the lubricant, it appeared clean and of sound body which is a vague way of saying that it did not feel broken down between one's fingers. A hydraulic actuation system clutch master cylinder, fluid lines, and slave cylinder and mechanical clutch system flywheel, clutch disc, and pressure plate made up the clutch assembly. On the Dodge Ram, the shift lever extension had a square bore that snapped over the transmission shift lever when pressed down. Weight was further reduced with the use of a one-piece, aluminum-casting clutch housing and front case. Other leaks, where components meet, could be due to problems with the sealer or incorrect bolt tightening. Please note that 5w30 motor oil is not a far cry from 75w85 gear oil. I don't do any towing or heavy hauling with my truck.
If a leak shows up at the rear of the extension or adapter housing, it is likely from the housing seals; if it shows up at the front, it could be the front bearing retainer or the retainer seal. Plus the dealer is a long drive from my office and my home, which means more gas expense. Award Winning Looks Looks are more than skin deep. Felt like it was full of mud and was really hard to shift the first 3 gears. The vented clutch housing reduced heat and improved clutch life; it had a machined notch for the crankshaft position sensor. A wrecking yard or dealer should have an interchange guide.
