Transmission Oil

Post by JustinMFox »

Sorry for another transmission question but which transmission oil is best to use for my 1968 Charger 4 speed manual? The Car should be up and running soon so the technical questions should ease up : )

Thanks

They do shift great on straight ATF, but it can be noisey as hell and will probably leak from every orifice! A 50/50 mix of EP90 and ATF is what I always used to use.
