It's no car transmission, but it shifts a heck of a lot better than an SM 465 or my NP420 or the NP435 behind the 400 in my $500 ford truck.

It's a brute of a transmission. don't drop it on your foot!

The links I sent you have the three recommended transmission fluids, possibly they can be mail ordered?

I looked at the gear splits and for my purposes an NP445 or NP4530 would work better. Running 3.23s and a 32" rear tire I do not need overdrive, but it would be useful to be able to drop a gear and not have the engine screaming along at 4500rpm.
