Correct Trans and diff fluid for a YJ
 

I have a 91 YJ 4.0L manual with alot of miles I bought not to long ago. I
would like to change the fluid in the trans and transfer case. I was told 80
90 for the trans, and I haven't checked on the transfer case yet. Someone
else told me it might need automatic fluid or a different type of fluid for
the trans so I haven't done anything yet. I don't have the manual of course.
What should I do? Any web resource's out there?

Would Daimler Chrysler know? I have been told they only go back so many
years?

Any suggestions would be a great help to me.

DO NOT put 80w-90 in your transmission. It requires a GL3 or GL4 (low or no
sulphur) gear oil, other wise the synchros will not be able to function
properly and you'll get serious cold gear clash when shifting. DC has a
special gear oil for AX15s, plus another for the later NV3550 used in the
TJs. Check with your local dealer. Alternatively, you can use Redline MTL.
I've used it in my '94 YJ for years and swear by it.

So just what do you think 80W90 is?

Last time 'I' looked it was called gear oil.

He just has to make sure it doesn't have limited slip additive.
