I changed my all the fluids in my car a few months ago, I imagine the oil in the tranmission was stock (car had 100k miles on it) and with the new Mobil 1 fluid the transmission is noticeably notchier.
When I went in to the parts store they only gave me gear oil, but now that I look in the book it calls for a mixture of oil and ATF.
What gives? What should be in the tranny? Does it need atf?

Sorry- are we talking a manual or auto trans?

I'm assuming from your sig that you have a manual trans. It all depends on the sticker on the trans that determines what gear oil works best. Some use redline others use different stuff. Somewhere around 75W-80 gear oil.

Missed the sig. Pentosin MTF-2, RP Synchromax, Red Line MTL or Red Line D4 ATF are all good.Originally Posted by Newjack

That's right, I couldn't remember, Pentosin MTF-2 is what I used in my tranny with a yellow sticker marked MTF-2.

Redline MTL has worked well for me in the past.
Currently I have Mobil 1 75-80 or something like that. It's what the computer showed when I bought the oil. Should I just drain a little and add some ATF to it?

I would do a full drain and full. It's only 2 qts.

A total of two quarts? What the ratio of oil to atf?

No. Ok... You're freaking me out here. The only thing you put in your tranny is transmission fluid. Period. 2 qts of either MTL, Pentosin, RP Synchromax, or D4 ATF. You choose.
