DavidTheCreator Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 auto trans fluid in a manual? sounds like trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 i also questioned such motives however ford rangers and the like run atf in the gearboxes , have yet to see one fail and they are fleet vehicles so get the bejesus smashed out of them that what is recommended though a 12a 5 speed might not like such ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Have seen and driven a Subaru 6 speed full of ATF. Was pretty mint TBH. Blew 4 engines and the box is still good. Then again, those boxes run an oil pump and forced lubrication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 ATF in the gear box works mint. I fill almost all my manual transes with it including T5s and W50s. It makes them shift faster and nicer. Fill it with ATF, it will work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKer Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Is actually reccomended, RX3 4 speeds are the best apparently from a pro racer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
