Anyone have any recommendations as to the type of lube to use in my 4 speed tranny? We've heard some say synthetic and others not. Any opinions?







IMHO, if your 4spd had ATF in it, run it with that if you so desire, if it had gear oil (80w-90) run that, personally over the last 30 years I've always run gear oil in my Mopar 4spds I've seen too many guys over the years that say "The FSM says ATF", and they switch out the gear oil, and find that one or more several things happen, the tranny craps out big time, or it leaks like a sieve with the ATF, or it shifts like crap....so after you cut thru the "mustard" of this thread, and pic your poison, report back with your opinion

I bought mine from Passon's last year. He told me to run 80/90w non-synthetic.


he told
You to run any 80/90? Does he not sell his fluid any more? I run his and it's about the weight of 5/30w

Call Jamie Passon- Passon Performance - you know the 4 and 5 speed guy. He has his own proprietary transmission lubricant for mopar 4 speeds. There is a significant difference between his lubricant and the off the shelf products that many will recommend. btw I torture tested the Passon product and the OFTPs and his by far performed the best.

Ever wonder why Chrysler developed the "slick shift" modification for the 833?




Yeah, so lesser mortals could try to keep up with Ronnie Sox.

NOT FOR STREET USE.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Yes that is what he said. Any 80/90w non-synthetic. He did not try to sell me his or even mention that he had his own type.
