nv3550 fluid question?

[4xfloored]

for you nv3550 guys, did you by the $30.00 a quart fluid for this trans? guy at the jeep dealership said I need a little less 4 quarts... a bit expensive... any alternatives?

I use Amsoil Manual synchromesh transmission fluid 5W-30 $6.85 per Qt.

The three lubricants used for most stick trannys are DexronII/III/IV/V, 30W motor oil, or 75-85W Mobil 1 Synthetic. One should be the same viscosity of Jeep lube.

same here on the AMSoil.

chrysler used a 5w30 gear lube, so use something equivalant. it should take around 2 quarts. just dump it down the shifter hole while you have it out.

I bought 3 quarts of Mopar fluid @ 15.00 each. :-X

I also got the Mopar stuff from the dealer. One local dealer wanted 22.00 per quart while another dealer across town sold it to me at 19.00. He also said 4 quarts. Specs call for 2.2 quarts so to be on the safe side I busted in to the third quart.

Same deal for the NV4500. I paid too much for this tranny to not use the correct lube.
