Be careful Mark. The "right" fluid is cheap compared to potential repairs. Parts for the NVG 5600 have been tough to come by for years. I think production ended in 2005? So near 20 years since they quit making them. I quit floating the gears in mine for fear of screwing up the syncros. I _think_ my expert used Redline MTL synthetic in mine but the memory is iffy and I gave up my maintenance and modifications file when I sold the truck so can't look it up anymore. My other expert is a big Amsoil advocate, I don't recall ever discussing this trans and Amsoil with him. That might be an option to look into?

Thanks . . . from what I have seen on the websites, its either Pennzoil, or the factory fill . . . gonna check with my local dealer and see what they have/can get . . .if not, then Pennzoil. Yup, don't want to screw up the tranny for sake of a few $$ saved on fluid.
Well, dealership has fluid in stock, gonna be $250 (Canadian Funds) . . .BUT, that's way cheaper than having the tranny go !! . . . oh the joy !!
LOL . . .

seems a lot of guys like Amsoil Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid (MTF) overfilled to 6qts through the shift tower. i am going to try it. Thought that was the “trick of the day” for the old Getrag with that tiny rear support bearing.
