Transmission guys-thoughts? Isn't 4 designed for higher temps?

My advise is don't do it Your 833 is better protected by gear oil. Also had a problem years ago shifting using atf in a HD 3 spd changed over to gear oil problem solved
But be sure to use GL-4 lube and NOT GL-5! Synchros will work better, last longer

80W90 gear oil works great. ATF is for automatics.

Use Penzoil Synchromesh gear oil and the trans will shift like butter.

thanks guys, especially for the ATF+4 info page
Ive always used ATF in my 833 and never had a problem, always shifts nice; I didnt know if the the +4 was much different than +3 though, and I thought if it was designed for higher temp use (thinner, maybe less viscous) than maybe I would use gear oil or a differnt ATF.
Im putting a new clutch in this weekend and while the trans is out, Im going to go through it, change the fluid and seals, etc

I've heard good things about GM Synchromesh for the fwd 5sp's, but for an 833, why not get Passon's mystery super lube?
I wonder if Jamie can chime in on the benefits of his lube stuff?
