Re: help with 2005 rubicon 6 speep manual transmission lubricant change
yes...i have seen this and have a copy of it...
And this is the transmission in the 2005 Rubicon...however, it is not
manufactured by Getrag.
All i am trying to do is determine if the lubricant they are the dealership
is specifying as the lube: Mopar 04874464, is correct...and in doing so, i
need to know who makes (manufactures), this transmission, & contact them for
the specification of the lubricant. No one else seems to know.
thanks

Re: help with 2005 rubicon 6 speep manual transmission lubricant change
yes...i have seen this and have a copy of it...
And this is the transmission in the 2005 Rubicon...however, it is not
manufactured by Getrag.
All i am trying to do is determine if the lubricant they are the dealership
is specifying as the lube: Mopar 04874464, is correct...and in doing so, i
need to know who makes (manufactures), this transmission, & contact them for
the specification of the lubricant. No one else seems to know.
thanks
