Changing transmission lube
I've got a Rubicon with an NV1500 5 sp transmission. I need to change the
lube. Pennzoil has some "Synchromesh Fluid" it states it's for Chrysler products. Part number 12345577. The question is, is this stuff any better than the dealer's stuff? Or, is there anything better than the Pennzoil? Any recommendations for the front and rear axles? These are limited slip differentials. Also, the service manual says to add 4 oz. of Limited Slip additive. Again, anybody have any recommendations aside from Chrysler? The service manual just doesn't have that much information. Thanks Lloyd Hanning |
Re: Changing transmission lube
I believe that synthetic fluids are worth the extra expense.
If you perform all the suggested maintenance exactly on schedule the extra protective properties are probably not needed. But that is just my opinion.

What year is it? Front & rear Axles should be D44, but the rear "limited slip" could be the "gear" type, not the "friction plate" type used in the non-Rubicon applications. If so, the axles don't require the additional Limited Slip additive. It won't hurt -- its just not needed. Normally any high quality hypoid GL-5 approved axle lube will be automatically approved for the plate-type limited slips anyway. Bob |

Re: Changing transmission lube
Lloyd, if you have a 5-speed in your Rubicon you have the NV3550. The
Pennzoil is the same stuff you get at the dealer but in a different bottle; the dealer will charge you through the nose for it.

Re: Changing transmission lube
The rear is a "helical gear" limited slip (Sugino or some such -- the
manufacturer's correct name escapes me at the moment) which uses no clutches at all. The front is a regular open differential unit. However, both can be solidly locked (air actuated) rear only, or rear plus front with the in-dash switch when necessary. The factory setup dictates you must have the transfer case in "Low" position before the lockers (front or rear) will activate. However, there are methods to bypass this so the lockers become active at any time you wish to use them.

Re: Changing transmission lube
The rear is a "helical gear" limited slip (Sugino or some such -- the
manufacturer's correct name escapes me at the moment) which uses no clutches at all. The front is a regular open differential unit. However, both can be solidly locked (air actuated) rear only, or rear plus front with the in-dash switch when necessary. The factory setup dictates you must have the transfer case in "Low" position before the lockers (front or rear) will activate. However, there are methods to bypass this so the lockers become active at any time you wish to use them.
