205 fluid

[TheGeneral]

Doing a doubler swap and wondering about fluid type to use. Detron ATF or 89-90 gear oil? Thanks for any info.

If you ain't hurt, you ain't playin' hard enough.

I think it is 90,but not sure. Pretty sure it is not ATF-too thin, I think

ATF is way too light for a NP205!

1 ton '87 Chevy SWB in the making!

80-90 weight all the way!

I'm not picking my nose...I'm just pointing at my brain!!

atf was speced as the fluid in the 80s
lighter fluid = better fuel economy
I use the 80 90 but a synthetic would be ideal for those that dont change the fluid regularly
i buy gear oil 20l at a time and have the pump, when I used to play every weekend I had to drain the water fairly frequently.

I've always used 80-90w. I think got that from the Haynes manual.

That is why I was asking. That it spec. do different fluids based on years? I'm going with 80-90 gear oil.
